Olivia Palermo Carries Louis Vuitton In New York City

Here’s NYC socialite/fashionista Olivia Palermo, sans hunky German fiance, carrying a “Jasper” red Louis Vuitton SC Satchel. The SC satchels have been a celeb favorite ever since their debut a few years ago. As Louis Vuitton fans already know, SC stands for Sofia Coppola, and this satchel is part of a capsule collection designed by the director. This much-beloved bag is still available from Louis Vuitton for $4,850. Designing a capsule collection for a high-end designer like Louis Vuitton seems a rather random undertaking for such a highly esteemed film director, but it helped, I suppose, that SC is a good pal of creative director Marc Jacobs.

Olivia’s unique necklace was made by the “The Maasai Project,” a venture from Pikolinos which employs women from the Kenyan Maasai tribe to make hand-crafted bags, shoes, and accessories, with all profits going towards development projects for the tribe. Olivia is an ambassador for the brand. (See, she does do something other than dress impeccably!)
