You know the Seinfeld episode where they talked about Bad Naked?  Well my last blog post pretty much talked about Bad Decorating with LV.

Even though authentic Louis Vuitton monogram throw pillows look tasteful on a simple couch at a LV Boutique- the same pillow on the same couch in a home just would not look classy.   IMO unless it’s vintage, travel oriented, or an interesting collectible (think LV monogram soccer ball on a book shelf in a traditional home library or a framed scarf), monogram just has no place in any decorating scheme unless you’re working for the company.

I’ve blogged a ton about how amazing and interesting Louis Vuitton CAN look in a house, apartment or office. Look for my old posts on Kanye’s Office and entry way, Eva Longoria’s closet, and Tommy Hilfiger’s living room, to name a few.  But here are a couple more recent examples…

This one was from March/April’s Mountian Living Magazine.  It’s a den in Christopher Coffin’s (Christopher K. Coffin Design) home.  See the table trunk on the lower left?  That is actually one of John F. Kennedy’s old Louis Vuitton monogram suitcases.  Gorgeous.  It is such an interesting addition to the room- totally adds to the overall look.  (As does the Hermes throw on the leather chair beside it )  A what a fantastic conversation piece.

And the Napa Valley, getaway retreat of the inspiring Ken Fulk was profiled in House Beautiful this month- July 2008.  I love his Louis Vuitton vintage suitcase stack, side table!

I love it!  If you do too… check out the Louis Vuitton Damier set that we have right listed on eBay right now that would look incredible in any decorating situation!

We’ve got other pieces that would also look great… like the Louis Vuitton Monogram Alzer 70, Monogram Alzer 80, and the Monogram Boite Flacons beauty case.  I need a picture of those three in a stack!!!

I really wish I could get a look at this. Someone sent me a little head’s up that the $7150 Alzer hard case that Louis Vuitton gave Kanye West for his 30th birthday last year may have some cool custom paint. I’m pretty sure the image above is on the case. It’s Kanye’s Graduation Bear with a LV monogram shirt.

Here’s the album cover that our very own Takashi Murakami did for Kanye…

Kanye must have a thing for bears… I saw the bottom half of the fabulous Louis Vuitton teddy bear pictured by his on his KanyeUniverstiy blog:

The Louis Vuitton gifted case is probably one of the Azur stack Kanye’s got in the entryway of his home:

(And as an aside, what’s not to love about Kanye’s painted bronze Hermes shopping bag sculpture by Jonathan Sigler.)

I don’t know what to say… I’m just so freaking in love with this set. I’ve sold a ton of amazing things in my life in this business, but this set of authentic Louis Vuitton Damier Bisten & Alzer trunk style hard suitcases is right up there at the top!

They’re great for travel…

And when they aren’t jet-setting, they’d look amazing as part of your home decor…

Here they are all wrapped up in their covers…

 And all wide open for the world to see… (great drawers/trays in the Alzers)!

Honestly, a real bargain at $19,500. (The monogram Alzer 80 alone for $5800!)  These have never been traveled with- they’re just stunning.  Check out more pictures her on our fashionphile.com website, or come by for a viewing.

OK… Maybe he just stumbled upon a post or two, but still I’m stoked that he used one of my pictures for his most recent post. His blog’s always got cool art & design stuff… but I always watch for the glimpses of his amazing, sometimes obscure, limited edition and special order Louis Vuitton pieces.

Kanye, if you read this… Pretty, please, we’d LOVE to see a pic of the Louis Vuitton Azur Alzer suitcase that you got from Louis Vuitton on your birthday last year!!! I heard it has some sweet paint!
