Suhali: conjuring up a warm, strong wind, a resonant breeze.

The Suhali collection, new from Louis Vuitton, is a vibrant and sensual line styled in soft, matte-textured, one-tone Suhali leather; a rare and precious goat leather that bears the beauty of an extremely fine grain and begins its journey in southern India and South East Asia.

It is further, vegetable-tanned and surface-treated to develop a superb patina over the years. Deliciously supple and soft, yet robust and hardwearing, it is able to withstand the passage of time and the changing of the seasons.

Louis Vuitton, with its usual concern with the timeless, has used colours that are eternal, pure and intense: black, white, plum and cobalt blue. The craftsmanship is precise, the detailing impeccable: saddle stitch trim, monogrammed fabric lining, metallic insets and best of all, S locks reminiscent of classic Vuitton luggage. The discreet precision of authentic stitching augments the subtlety of the hand-made look, with topstitching in contrasting hues.

And if you are looking for the Louis Vuitton monogramme, STOP. Louis Vuitton is not only about its name (though we admit that does count). It’s about style, versatility and luxury in elegant designs with couture finishes. So, for those who already have every style in the monogrammed canvas variety, including the sweet pastel LVs which hit shops recently, go for this more discreet, beautifully crafted (as always) range.

The Suhali range is available on special order at the Louis Vuitton Store at the Oberoi, New Delhi.
