I’m sorry if this is another Rihanna article. The girl’s taste in bags is just hard to ignore. A few days ago, we saw her with two Prada bags. Today, she gives us glimpses of her popular new Louis Vuitton bag.

The first sighting of the bag happened the other day when the pop singer was on her way to The Late Show with David Letterman in a Burberry ribbed vest top paired with a Proenza Schouler hoody toggle coat, Ray-Ban Folding Wayfarer sunglasses, denim shorts, black Azzedine Alaïa lace-front ankle boots, and black stockings.

One day later, she flaunted the same piece for a taping of ‘Good Morning America.’

The “If It’s Lovin’ That You Want” singer donned a grey Rick Owens Lilies tube maxi (aka cigarette skirt) with a Missoni zig zag knit fringed long scarf, a black Belstaff Triumph leather jacket, and a pair of black Azzedine Alaïa lace-front ankle boots.

Rihanna’s bag is the Louis Vuitton Monogram Empreinte Lumineuse in Flamme color. It’s a newly launched bag currently available ONLY in Louis Vuitton stores. It comes in two sizes – a PM and a GM:

Up close, the bag is beautiful. Its dark and rich monogram-imprinted leather material looks fabulous against all the gold hardware. It seems Louis Vuitton outdid itself with this one. The bag feels amazingly modern yet also amazingly classic.
What do you think? Want to have it? If you do, it is best to visit the nearest LV store in your area. Before you head over there, though, make sure you have $2,180 in your pocket because that’s how much the PM costs. The GM will set you back $2,720.
If it’s the look you like but not the price tag, you can go for a burgundy tote with gold hardware. Or, you can go monogram all the way with a more affordable handbag brand like Dooney & Bourke:
Dooney & Bourke 1975 Signature Satchel, $210
Dooney & Bourke 1975 Signature Vanessa Tote, $235
