Cool feature on the website Honeyee.com.  I tried to get Google to translate it for me- but it kept looping around.  Nice pics of trunks and graphite, though!

The Motorcycle and Louis Vuitton have two things in common. Both have been around since the late 1800’s (the motorcycle since 1869 and Louis Vuitton Malletier since 1854). And both make riders irresistible. Exibit B:

I’m so loving the men’s Fall 2008 Damier Graphite Motorcycle Helmet and Riding Boots. I mean, not only are you a safe and sound rider, but you look hot. Damier Graphite is such a cool modern twist on Louis Vuitton’s historic Damier.

Louis Vuitton introduced the original brown Damier pattern trunks in 1888 in response to widespread counterfeiting of both the original Grey Trianon Canvas and the Striped Canvas. They released Damier Azur in 2006 and the Damier Graphite is available for this fall.

They call him the David Beckham of Japan. (Never heard? Take a look). He’s not only about as hot as you can get, is a super talented footballer, and a big fan Louis Vuitton (and fashion in general) but he’s got a big heart for charity.

He managed to get Louis Vuitton to host a charity auction for his Take Action 2008 effort to make a contribution in the world.

(From Mitsuzi Aoyama’s blog here. The pictures from the event are all his…)

So Louis Vuitton did what Louis Vuitton does best: designed an AMAZING limited edition graphite damier hard trunk carrying case for a limited edition football (soccer ball for we yanks!). They offer this as well as a bunch of other graphite, multicolore trunks/ cases… (I’d love more details from someone who was there…)

Wish I could have been there!

OK, loving the Graphite Damier unveiled at Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2008 men’s show Thursday.  This was long past do…

and what about the Damier PYTHON hardcases?  I mean- I know these were released at the men’s show- and really, LV has a way with manbags… but, I would have no problem traveling with the Graphite Cruiser- Reporter, or any of the hardcases, for sure.

But what I REALLY wanted to see was the Graphite Damier Yamaha Grand Piano that was playing for the show.  If anyone got a picture- please send it over!!!
