Love her website!  Christina Aguilera has a thing for vintage Louis Vuitton trunks & hard cases.  We’re just upset that she doesn’t have the Damier Alzer 70 that she (well, actually- her assistant) bought from us here at FASHIONPHILE as an organizing tool for her closet!

Christina- we still have 4 more left from that set, if you’re still interested!  We’ll give you a nice deal!

First off… love the custom display trunk that Goyard cooked up for Pharell Willliams’ Billionaire Boy’s Club display at the new and improved Colette in Paris.  Goyard is an amazing malletier- Iconic and full of history… and the display looks incredible.

My only thought was… I wonder what the good folks over at Louis Vuitton “think”.  I mean, they’ve given Pharell the chance to collaborate on the Louis Vuitton Blason jewelry line- and he’s front and center at all the shows, etc.  Wonder if they “care” that Pharell had Goyard do the display?

I mean, there are only two real players in the custom luxury trunk business, Louis Vuitton and Goyard.  Just wondering if they’d take it as a slight?

Wow.  Not only is The Pand Hotel in just about the cutest town you’ll find in this part of Europe (Bruges, Belgium- think cobblestone streets, cool little stone bridges & canals- cute shops and cafes… adorable!) but the owners of this little luxury hotel have quite the antique Louis Vuitton trunk and hard case collection- and they are scattered throughout the hotel.

… in bedrooms, like the one pictured above and below.

… and with stacks of suitcases in the lobby:

I love what vintage Louis Vuitton can do for a room- and it so works in this hotel.  I am writing this into my Rick Steve’s Amsterdam, Bruges and Brussels guide- as a reminder. Don’t want to miss it if I get the chance!

Check out The Pand Hotel website- pictures and video.  It’s an amazing little hotel!

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!

Talk about making an entrance!  For her new $10 million show, The Showgirl Must Go On in Caesar’s Palace (Las Vegas) Divine Miss M rises from under the stage on this fabulous collection of Louis Vuitton trunks and other luggage.

If you haven’t seen it yet- there’s still time.  She’ll be there for two years- at around 100 performances a year!

OK, so we’re all used to seeing the “Cribs” shot inside celebrity closets- where you regularly take a peek at strategically, and asthetically pleasingly displayed Louis Vuitton pieces (see the Eva Longoria example above- feet delicately balancing on what appears to be an epi hatbox & multicolore hard case up above on a shelf!)

But today vintage and new Louis Vuitton pieces are often found tastefully decorating all kinds of rooms…

You may remember this fantastic picture of “the Louis Vuitton Don”, Kanye West’s office from Harper’s Bazaar.

I’ve blogged before about the trunk in Tommy Hilfiger’s living room…

but I really like what Aaron Thomas did with acrylic for LVMH as covers for trunks that were used for their pre-Golden Globes Party (one that happened, last year- pre-strike!) The pic above is from Aaron’s blog- and these not only make the trunk look fab and modern- but you can set your drink on your $20,000 trunk without worry!

Finally, I found this great picture from F~A~L~B’s blog… He’s framed a Louis Vuitton scarf and has it hanging in his guest powder room! I think this is a great idea- many Louis Vuitton scarves are little works of art. It’s nice to see them displayed. This could work in other rooms of the house as well, and I’d love to see it done with some vintage pieces!

I’ll leave it to you to comment on the following custom bathroom addition!

I mean, this stuff speaks for itself… but here are a few more pieces. I just love the personalization. I mean, everyone at the Grove can be carrying a Louis Vuitton monogram Speedy 25… but if mine is custom hand painted with the USC Trojans logo: it’s one of a kind! (This isn’t my bag- but how cool is that?)

Well, that didn’t work! It looks like my previous post didn’t include the fantastic custom art that I’d intended!

Here’s some of the cool pieces hand painted by the obviously fabulous, Nick Taylor for Louis Vuitton:

Very cool to see the jewelry from so many angles! (If you aren’t a jewelry person- check out the gorgie trunks!!!) Take a look…
