The third Cruise Galliera is now out, the Galliera Amalfitana! This bag is a perfect example of resourcefulness and creativity as the material used in this Galliera is Raffia, a genus of palms native to tropical regions of Africa and Madagascar, that is weaved along a textile Monogram canvas for a natural summery feel. The craftsmanship is beyond compare, this bag is definitely the epitome of Monogram reinterpretation. The bag is named after Italy’s world renowned Amalfi Coast, (Costiera Amalfitana in Italian) which is famous for its rugged terrain, scenic beauty, picturesque towns and diversity. Definitely the ultimate summer getaway!
Galliera Amalfitana features microfiber lining and vachetta trimmings, a magnetic closure, an inside pocket with press stud closure, a cellphone compartment, an internal D-ring for attaching key holders and stuff, and of course, a golden brass Louis Vuitton Inventeur plate as the bag’s glorious centerpiece. Like it’s other sisters, Amalfitana can be carried on the shoulder thanks to the wide adjustable (and comfortable) leather strap. Pair it with a tank top, shorts, straw hat and a smoothie, you’re ready to hit the beach!
Galliera Amalfitana measures 19.7″ x 13.4″ x 7.9″ and is available at Louis Vuitton for approximately $2,240.

loooove the bag – hate the price
I agree, the bag looks stunning but the price is depressing. Its because of the material used, the craftsmanship and the number of bags being made. There are only 100 of these babies so that’s why it’s so $$$..
