Wow... what a beautiful combination of marketing, charity, style and functionality! I love it!!!
I introduce you to "The Ultimate Travel Bag" by Louis Vuitton. This is a collaboration between the Times Fashion Editor, Lisa Armstrong... and the folks at Santa's workshops in Asnières (the Louis Vuitton workshops near Paris where all the prototypes & approximately 550 special orders made annually). You really should read her story in the Times... it's a great read!
The brilliant twist is that this is a one of a kind creation- never to be made again, incredible little piece... is to be auctioned off for Charity by CLIC Sargent- the UK's leading Children's Cancer Charity. If you want to take a peek and will be in the UK in the next couple weeks... it is on display until December 18 at Louis Vuitton, 190-192 Sloane Street, London SW1. Bids are accepted online or by phone 020-8752 2883.
So, the bidding starts at £10,000 (that's $20,000 for us yanks!) It consists of:
- A 50 x 32 x 32 cm rolling monongram bag... (20 x 12.5 x 12.5 inches- fully legal carry-on)
- A matching monogram passport cover
- Matching cashmere eye cover & blanket for luxurious, restful travel
- A monogram sleek, slim computer cover & separate cord holder
- A clear plastic cosmetic case (for quick x-ray airline inspections)
- A monogram roll & tie jewelry case
- A purple monogram vernis evening bag
- A laundry bag
It all fits neatly into one compact- killer looking bag.
Go ahead! Place your bids!!!
