Kanye swaps a Vuitton for a Veneta

Mr Kanye West has had a fair old bit of press recently. Forget the 'Kimye' circus I'm totally focusing on the game here. Especially with Yeezy's upcoming collaboration with Adidas straight after a much publicised fall out with Nike. Could this force a power shift? Say want you like about Kanye West but he does have some clout behind him. Could be a master stroke from the three stripes. Anyway back on track with another one of Kanyes beefs; that with Louis Vuittons Vice President Yves Carcelle over being snubbed while out in Paris. Apparently West demanded a meet with LV commander who replied in turn with 'I don't understand why we need to meet with you'... Ouch!

So Mr West with a rather bruised ego decided to go on a 'Vuitton strike'. This has seen him dump his favourite 'Neo Greenwich' holdall in favour of Bottega Veneta's woven wonder. Must of been tough on Kanye as the NG is one beautiful piece of luggage. Good replacement choice by Kanye though as the brown woven Veneta duffle is a statement of understated style. Did I just mention Kanye and understated style in the same sentence?!
