Coveting Louis Vuitton Luggage? There’s An App For That

For your inner history buff/luggage lover comes a new app from the good people at Louis Vuitton. “100 Legendary Trunks” is available for download now on iTunes, coinciding with the publication of the brand’s new book titled (would you know it?) Louis Vuitton: 100 Legendary Trunks.

The company touts the app as featuring “trunks for explorers, magicians, actors or Maharajas…” Does that sound like you? Even if not, with tabs like “Signatures,” “Tools,” “Savoir Faire,” and “Globe Trotters,” there is a whole LV-branded world to explore.

And so Vuitton’s Year of the Trunk continues, which kicked off in March with the elaborate Fall show complete with an actual steam engine. We’re not sure about you, but we think they’ve done a mighty fine job with the marketing on this one. We always used to talk about wanting to use a vintage Vuitton trunk as a super-chic coffee table, and now our desire has been sparked anew.

Will you download the app? It’s $18.99 on iTunes, which may sound like quite a bit of money to drop, but hey, it’s a heck of a lot cheaper than one of the Maharaja-approved trunks it showcases, amiright?
