The Famous Louis Vuitton company of
Paris turned 150 in 2004 and celebrated
with the party of all parties held in
international locations.
A portable
structure, 75m x 33m x 16m, that was
shipped from one location to another,
was designed to feature a damier
steamer trunk on three of the four sides.

| Alright, I'll try not to make this a gossip blog page so I won't get into the whole Jessica Simpson
and Nick ordeal, but she bought this right around the time they went splitskies. So what we
learn from this life lesson is that if you have $30,000 to burn, what better way to relieve that
aching heart than buying a beautiful vintage Louis Vuitton trunk. But way to go Jessica on
a sweet find to add to her already huge LV collection. |

| Dont ask me how I discovered this one, but since we're on the topic of the fascination of the pop divas and their Louis Vuitton trunks, here's a little pic from Christina Aguilera's website.
So I never would have admitted it before, but it looks like she and I do have something in common. Here she has three cases that fit perfectly with her latest traditional cabaret appeal. |

| Lot 16, "Panda" by Takashi Murakami (b. 1963),
fiberglass with antique Louis Vuitton trunk and
wooden pedestal, 100 1/2 by 65 by 43 inches, 2003.
How sweet is this little cutie? It was made in 2003. It was estimated before the auction at $350,000 to $450,000. And get this... It sold for $385,600. Looks like we're gonna start selling trunks with Asian teddy bears on top from now on! |

| Architect Peter Marino's Louis Vuitton
store in Hong Kong takes branded
architecture to an extreme. The luxury
brand is known for its iconic trunks and
monogrammed leather goods, and
Marino used that as the basis of the
designÑand even the construction.
A King Kong-sized Louis Vuitton trunk
dominates the middle of the store.
Patterns once reserved for leather
goods jump out from windows,
staircases, and displays to drive home
the ultimate in brand recognition |
