Louis Vuitton: Luxury also affects the écolochic for a picnic ... a little hick

This trunk, custom made by Louis Vuitton workshops for a client eccentric promises to carry everything needed for a picnic lunch at the chic and green. It is indeed with solar collectors to heat the coffee. Géniaaaal.

It is a Chinese client who has the happiness of being supplied this trunk and exceptional luxury. One hesitates, however, between the good and bad taste when you admire this masterpiece of the Louis Vuitton workshops. For height of luxury and unnecessary, which is equipped with photovoltaic panels that trunk picnic will choice to run the coffee maker or DVD player. Suffice to say that the image of bucolic lunch takes a quick shot in the wing, my chicken.

Yet I remember my visit in these exceptional workshops, located at the same address at Asnieres Museum Louis Vuitton . The place is beautiful, the people who work there are equally, each an expert working on a craft capable of manufacturing such articles. It takes days and days of toil to prepare the leather and fabric to decorate the trunks, paste, working on every detail, to remove any defects.

Feel this wonderful smell of a job well done, my good lady, smell a little. Admire the delicate gestures of these people who sew these fabrics to adorn the hands and arms of this beautiful home. Here, everything is so upscale and unique that it allows us to regain consciousness just our human condition, do not you think?

Yes, yes, of course ... But you tell them not to forget to put a cigarette lighter socket to plug the Wii's kid, mostly. And there is a corner to put the garbage? Ah yes, my wife insists that there are solar panels ... You know, this stuff there. Then you put me. Hein.

And here. When the luxury touches to the ecology, but through our clients, we often fall quickly into the slob chic. Hick's expensive, of course, otherwise it would not be funny: about $ 20,000 for the trunk Louis Vuitton solar energy and making coffee.

Nothing to do with the site that inspired me for this post, which is all that is chic and fun to read: So Black Tie .
