Marjorie Harvey flaunted her latest accessory for the gram – with a price tag equivalent to a Tesla. The fashion lover and wife to Steve Harvey posted a video of a Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2021 airplane bag designed by Virgil Abloh. For just $39,000, you can own one of the least functional luxury purses.
The monogram canvas bag, which features the essential parts of a plane like wings and wheels, is a statement-making piece. When the design was first revealed, fans of the brand were slightly confused and definitely unimpressed. Rightfully so considering you can buy a pre-owned plane for less than 39K.
Virgil says his inspiration behind key pieces in the Fall/Winter collection was “tourist vs. purists.”
“It’s my organizing principle for my point of view when I make things,” Abloh said in an interview with Vogue. “A tourist is someone who’s eager to learn, who wants to see the Eiffel Tower when they come to Paris. The purist is the person who knows everything about everything.”
This bag is a major flex. Hermès has their Birkin bags and now Louis Vuitton has private jets you rock as a purse. Talk about innovative! What do you think? Are you feeling Virgil’s $39,000 LV bag?

The bag looks like a real aircraft, featuring the engine nacelles, the two wings, and the hidden stabilizer.
飛機包加上手提把，外皮披上LV Monogram Eclipse 帆布，經典Logo讓人從遠處一眼就認出它來自經典品牌。

雖說LV近年來推出不少熱銷街頭時尚包款，但飛機包著實讓不少網友傻眼，掀起一波波討論。
Although LV has launched many popular street fashion bags in recent years, the airplane bag has really made many social media users dumbfounded and created quite a stir online.
不少網友表示，這價錢都可以買一架真的飛機了；另一名網友留言：「我會把玩具飛機黏上把手，再以飛機包半價出售。」
One said that you can buy an actual plane for less while another commented: “I’ll glue some handles on a Cobra Rattler and I’ll sell it for half as much.”
還有一名網友酸道：「大概沒有品味的有錢人才會買它吧。」
One wrote: “Probably only rich people with no fashion taste would carry it around.”
Louis Vuitton’s New Travel Speaker Is the Most Luxurious Way to Listen to Music
Louis Vuitton’s New Travel Speaker Is the Most Luxurious Way to Listen to Music
Louis Vuitton wants to help make your music-listening experience a little more stylish.
In July, the luxury goods company launched the Louis Vuitton Horizon Light Up portable speaker, adding to its existing range of connected products.
“Through superior sound quality and cutting-edge technology, the Louis Vuitton Horizon Light Up speaker really comes into its own through Louis Vuitton’s unconventional approach to creating beauty in an everyday object,” the company shared in a statement. “Not only does the speaker provide the ultimate audio-visual experience, it also represents the House’s skill in turning a utilitarian item into a work of art.”

According to Louis Vuitton, its new speaker takes its shape from the Toupie (‘Spinning Top’) handbag, designed by its Artistic Director of Women’s Collections, Nicolas Ghesquière. “Just as the Toupie rewrote the rule book for evening bags, the Louis Vuitton Horizon Light Up speaker aims to reinvent the world of portable speakers,” the company said. It’s clad in noble leather and metal and boasts the brand’s famous logo throughout. It’s a piece so good-looking that it could just stand as a lovely artistic item in your home if you really wanted.
“Only when the device is switched on does its purpose become obvious in an explosion of sound, light, and movement,” Louis Vuitton noted. “As the covered woofer vibrates like a heartbeat, a dynamic light-show synchronizes to the beat with a colorful digital interpretation of Louis Vuitton’s Iconic Monogram flower.”
Clocking in at just one kilogram and thoughtfully designed, the speaker can be used inside or out, making it an ideal speaker to bring to pool or park days, or along for wherever your travels take you.
“At the top of the speaker, a leather strap is attached, a unique element that is as fashionable as it is freeing. Beautiful and compact enough to be carried as an accessory, either with or without its protective pouch, the speaker is truly portable, a perfect representation of Louis Vuitton’s Spirit of Travel,” the brand said.
The speaker is compatible with Apple AirPlay 2, and Qplay via Wi-Fi, and can be paired with other speakers to further amplify sound. It utilizes a USB-C charger through either the speaker or dock. On a full charge, it can provide up to 12 hours of playtime.
