Louis Vuitton has always stood by its belief in offering a luxurious way of life to its loyalists even when they are on the go. We are talking stylish luggage that is always appreciated by the discerning traveler. And one thing good about LV is that it is constantly working to improve its past products to give you the best in the market today. It was just yesterday that we were telling you about the LV Dog carrier by Marc Jacobs. Well, here is yet another item from the same  “Maîtres du Savoir-Faire” collection for Red Cross. It is called the 95 Secretaire special case and it bears the thumbprint (figuratively, so) of its creator Damien Hirst.

We are told that the inspiration for this rather grand luggage case came from the movie Dead Ringers. Apparently, the rather shiny display of stainless steel surgical instruments caught Hirst’s attention.
As a result, the 95 Secretaire Special ase bear the iconic skull impressions that belong to all Hirst products. There are two silver skulls encrusted on the inside of the lids as well. Black leather has been used to craft the exterior while the inside has a dark blue velvet lining bearing a beautiful butterfly print. Custom pieces also available.

Louis Vuitton has added another item in its ‘I love’ list. No, it’s not clothes for this once. More than anything in the world, this brand too loves being pampered by its die hards. And we have seen how loyalists find ways to show their allegiance to a name. We are not talking about LV dresses and bags over here. In fact, it is a bike on the streets (maybe not literally so, yet) that has caught everyone’s attention this time.

The bike is question is an Italian KTM 250 freestyle motorcycle. And the one riding it is Vanni Oddera, who regards himself as a worshipper of Louis Vuitton. We spotted this two-wheeler at this years EICMA motor show that was held in Milan.
The spunky bike has been done up in an orange and gold combination. The graffiti on the the fenders get a great complement in the form of a signature Louis Vuitton logo seat. We are not quite sure if this bike would be up for sale. It does look pretty unlikely if Vanni would like to part with his sweetheart. But where’s the trouble., after all you can always design your very own!

Getting bored of one’s diamonds is a possibility that cannot be ignored. And that’s the reason why it is advisable to also own a few pearls for some variety. Even brands like Louis Vuitton have been paying special attention to this idea. In fact, it has launched a very exquisite mechanical pearl collection that will match with the style of the modern woman of today.

We are quite impressed with the way the collection introduces the bicycle chain style to the pearls without marring their charm and beauty. In fact, it is this unique marriage of the most unlikely patterns that makes this jewelry line so much appealing.

You can choose between a stunning bracelet (made from 11 Swarovski glass pearls), an elegant choker necklace or a very stylish hairpin. The bracelet is accompanied by a lacquered black pearl set in a steel and gold brass chain. The choke necklace has been made from 22 Swarovski glass pearls with an LV engraved soft padlock. The hairpin too grabs attention owing to its large resin pearl.

Louis Vuitton conquered the international fashion market with its high end clothing line, leather goods, luxury luggage and practically everything other accessory associated with looking good.  With the Louis Vuitton Cup, the brand became popular even in the world of yacht racing.

Louis Vuitton is ready to launch a new World Series of sailing in collaboration with the World Sailing Team Association (WSTA). Known as the Louis Vuitton World Series, the regatta would be held at Nice, France, in November of this year. Already eight racing teams from France, Italy, Russia, Sweden, and USA have signed up and even more teams are expected to join the event.

The Louis Vuitton Cup is no stranger to the world of yacht sailing and has been associated with the America’s Cup for a couple decades. The LV World Series team will participate with identical twin boats in an attempt to imitate match racing. The winner of the Louis Vuitton World Series Would no doubt gain as enviable a position as those who have won the Louis Vuitton Cup and the America’s Cup over the past years.

A watch from Louis Vuitton is a very exclusive affair that doesn’t happen too regularly either. The brand has a plentiful of luggage and bags floating around the fashion conscious, but keeping time isn’t what they indulge in too often. Perhaps, that is just another reason for the popularity of timepieces by the brand. A new collection of Two-Tone LV Tambour watches are gaining momentum in the markets. It includes chronographs, GMTS and even the three-hand version with a subsidiary dial.

All watches are automatics with high grade ETA mechanical movements The fashionably tapering Tambour watch case is quite a stunner. The two-tone effect lets the colors blend without distraction something along the lines of Baume & Mercier Riviera.

The Two-Tone LV Tambour watches have enough variety for both men and women. The guys would be taken up by the three hand version with a subsidiary dial at 9 o’clock, a GMT model and the pictured chronograph model. Every single timepiece has eye soothing deep yellow hands. Quite a touch of the classic, gold in its natural color looks good. the price range is between $4K-$5K.

Louis Vuitton has struck gold twice with popular singing idol Madonna signing on with them for a second time to play muse for Marc Jacobs’ forthcoming autumn.winter collection. And let’s be blunt, the endeavour also aims to reinvent Madonna in the eyes of her fans who have been missing some classy action from her end, frankly, we had become a wee bit tired of the messy divorces.

Made to look like a sumptuous and decadent heroine from the Golden film era, Madonna is scorching hot thanks to photographer Steven Meisel and art director Jacobs (yes, he doubled up roles here). It is indeed a very new form of the famous celeb that we get to see here. The ads have been inspired by the Surrealist technique solarisation perfected by Man Ray.

As for the apparel, Madonna can been seen ruffling in sheer silk puffballs as part of short dresses. The thigh-high boots sure look like they could kick a few fashioable steps. Jacobs told the media that it was a fun filled affair!

It will not be an exaggeration to say that Japan is foremost among the fashion-conscious nations of the world. Perhaps that is why we see almost every third person donning a famous fashion label. Every second person having a unique style of his or her own. And every one is so aloof from the person standing right next that you can possibly be naked and none would stare. Such is life in Japanese culture.

Well so much for the insight into the country’s ruling disposition let us tell you about famous Japanese artist Takashi Murakami who has a long history of associations with premium fashion houses and brands to create new fashion trends in Japan and all over the world.

This time around Takashi’s famous marriage is with Louis Vuitton and the result is the anime Panda bag. This one is very similar to the signature LV bags seen so many times before but it is printed with Murakami’s images of a panda. We haven’t heard anything about the prospective date when the bag shall hit the markets. So keep your eyes open to hear the latest on that!

There might have been times when you were travelling and just realized that your bag isn’t enough to accommodate all the stuff you wanted to purchase. Usually when you are travelling you would not want to be in a position where you would have to buy a bag!

It is also possible that the place you are travelling in does not come with luxury stores to buy the brand you want. You could get yourself this Louis Vuitton’s Sport Bag Duffle. The bag is made of super soft leather and you would regret coughing out $2,910. The thing is, it really is not a travel bag and is a sports bag, and can be used to carry your gear.

But like most guys do, there is nothing better than something sporty to carry with you when you are travelling. I would use this more during travelling and less when hitting the sports club next block.  Nevertheless, an occasional trip to the gym with this bag would only make all the guys envy your taste!

The historic landing of the Apollo 11 on the  moon 40 years ago is a moment of celebration all over the world. The television busies itself presenting programmes based on the achievement while movie channels showcase films of similar genre. And guess what Louis Vuitton does? Well, it creates a custom-order trunk called Malle Mars. Now we do wonder, why they didn’t think of a more appropriate Moonie Moon, but that’s a different issue altogether.

Coming back to Malle Mars, we are told that it looks like somethings that comes straight from the sets of ‘Star Trek’. It is an aerodynamic trunk with several compartments to meet all sorts of space requirements when one is on the go, which even includesdrawers for dishware and a folding chair.

LV is celebrating the anniversary at the Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History today. The trunk along with some NASA pics, space toys etc will be showcased there. Astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell and Sally Ride will be in attendance.And on the same occasion, we ae told, LV is giving away an undisclosed sum to Al Gore’s Climate Project.
