Louis Vuitton bags are a luxury, but even more so when they are modelled after an actual airplane, especially since you cannot really travel right now, not the way you used to until two years ago, at least.

The luxury fashion brand came up with the new kind of bag, which was presented during its Fall-Winter 2021 collection by American designer Virgil Abloh, at the beginning of this year.

According to Dlmag.com, while the collection comprised a range of clothing that symbolised masculine archetypes, it also featured carrier bags, and the most prominent among them has been the airplane-shaped bag which, the outlet quotes, has a price of $39,000 (INR 28,61,235).

Per the report, the Keepall bag is adorned with Louis Vuitton’s traditional monogram logo.

A Vogue article dated January 2021 states: “There’s lot to unpack, from the Louis Vuitton baggage—some of it in the shape of carrier bags, potato sacks, an LV ‘Keepall’ in the form of a plane—to the symbolic reconfigurations of masculine archetypes, to the challenging of ownership of sources that Abloh built into the clothes. “There are a lot of stories mixing cultures,” he said.”

And while it does look unique and even interesting, the exorbitantly-priced bag has garnered some mixed reactions from netizens. While some are amused by it, others are expressing their disappointment over the price, stating that they can buy a bag for a much less price.

Virgil Abloh’s airplane-shaped bag for Louis Vuitton is insanely priced

Luxury fashion brand Louis Vuitton presented its Fall-Winter 2021 collection by Virgil Abloh at the beginning of this year, featuring the Off-White designer’s portrayal of radical thinking through menswear.

The collection comprising a range of clothing that symbolizes masculine archetypes also features carrier bags with a new language that transcends the bounds of typical fashion. The main highlight, without marking any other article less vital, is the airplane-shaped bag quoted at an eye-watering $39,000.

Airplane-shaped Keepall bag

Enthralling as it is, the exorbitantly priced handbag for the new generation of air travelers has garnered mixed reactions from netizens. Some unamused label it downright expensive with annotations as you can buy a car for much less.

For flying buff, this is an invitation to ditch the dumb bags and soar with your own plane in the cabin. If that sounds you – and your pocket allows – Keepall bag is worth the expensive goodies you tag along in the carry-on. When you’re grounded, your statement is delivered by the monogram on the walk through the corridors or at the lounge.

The decoration

Since it’s for Louis Vuitton, the bag is adorned with the brand’s traditional monogram logo. Just for the LV pattern and the amateurish shape you can shell that money or drive home in a Mini Electric and still have extra cash to feed a few if you like.

That’s not what the world demands – the fashion-forward like to be in tangent unattainable. So when life boils down to making a decorative statement – the airplane Keepall bag will definitely make heads pop up in awe at the first stride on the aisle.
