The luxury house, Louis Vuitton, has just come out with a three-piece travel set that includes a shoe case (at $6,630), a golf bag (at around $5,595) and a briefcase (at $5,595), which all display the traditional Louis Vuitton monogram.
The “Valise Chussures” is a canvas crafted shoe case that has 12 compartments to safely store shoes, which prevents them from getting scuffed or dirty. This shoe case enables the traveler to separate his/her shoes from their clothes, which ensures that the clothes and shoes will both be intact upon arrival at ones destination. The case is 24 inches tall and comes with brass trim and felt interiors.
The second piece of luggage in the set is the “Sac Golf” which is a leather and canvas golf bag. This luxurious golf bag can store up to six golf tees, has numerous pockets and compartments and is equipped with an easy-to carry strap. This piece is designed with the perfect combination of comfort and elegance.
The final piece in the collection is the “President Briefcase” which is a vintage canvas tote that is 16 inches tall and was first introduced in 1956. It features a removeable ID holder, leather handle and an s-lock. Inside the briefcase there is a filing system and pockets to hold important documents.
The brand is especially familiar with the manufacturing of luggage, since Mr. Vuitton started his career as a luggage packer for a wealthy Parisian family in the early 1800’s. In 1854 he started his brand as a luggage company and today the fashion house uses the young Vuitton’s knowledge of luxury craftsmanship to make all of their products.
On May 8, Italian luxury brand Lamborghini launched the opening of its third store worldwide, located in an exclusive retail shop in Vancouver.
The third store was opened in Richmond’s fancy Aberdeen centre. The other two locations are in Beijing and Los Angeles. The store owner of the Vancouver location is prominent businessman Asgar Virji and he promises that like the cars, the clothing in this upscale boutique will be flashy and eye-catching. Each piece of clothing will reflect the engineering that goes into building the cars; such as stiletto heals that look like they were made to match the car. The store also features Lamborghini accessories such as wallets and Tonino Lamborghini cigar lighters and cutters. The target audience for this location is newly wealthy Chinese entrepreneurs.
After the grand opening, there was a parade of the newest Lamborghini’s followed by a fashion show of the Italian designed sporty clothing, which all carry the infamous Spanish fighting bull logo. There are designer leather jackets with fur trim and simple t-shirts meant for Lamborghini owners and enthusiasts.
The clothing line is meant to compliment the cars and the people who drive them. Virji hopes that consumers will come into the boutique to look at the stylish and luxurious clothes and leave with a further appreciation and interest in the actual car. He also owns a dealership in Vancouver and he believes that his clients will be wearing the clothes while riding in their sports cars.
The opening of the boutique represents the progress that Lamborghini has made over the years and its ability to branch out further than just cars. However, Lamborghini does not plan on opening a multitude of boutiques because they want to keep their clothing and accessory line as exclusive and luxurious as their cars. The fact that there are only three stores in the world guarantees that the men who do buy the clothing will be among an elite group.
