Ahhh… Louis Vuitton fans and automobile afficionados everywhere will be disappointed to hear that the Louis Vuitton Classic, China Run originally slated to begin May 23, has been postponed until further notice.

It seems that the commotion that errupted following the Olympic Torch pass through Paris (and Chinese Boycott of Louis Vuitton that resulted) have taken its toll.

A new date has yet to be scheduled… and it looks like the Chinese authorities are behind the idea 100%.  Everyone just wants to make sure that this is a “high-quality event”.

OK, I know it’s disappointing that Louis Vuitton didn’t come up with any Limited Edition items that were “special” for the Brooklyn Museum Exhibit- but check out what they are releasing for the Louis Vuitton Classic, China Run 2008!

This is an amazing set of limited edition monogram pieces. (You know how I feel about a little color/customization on traditional monogram or damier! LOVE it!) We’ve got the Keepall 55, a fab monogram Naviglio, a Zippy Organizer wallet, some sweet leather driving shoes, and of course a killer pair of retro lunettes! Here’s the logo you’ll find on those items:

Louis Vuitton loved cars. I guess it’s a guy thing. And of course, Louis Vuitton tries to work with any vehicle of transportation. The Louis Vuitton Classic has been around since 1989. There is a pretty cool “flash” presentation on the History of Louis Vuitton and the Classic on their website.

The last Louis Vuitton Classic in China was 10 years ago- in 1998. This year, the Classic will run from May 23 until June 1, in China.
