Louis Vuitton makes a case for everything. Really. If there's something you want to carry in a Louis Vuitton case, they will probably make one for you.The only criteria-strictly enforced to honor the original spirit of the 150-year-old company-are that the item is portable and that its raison d'être is transport. "We are in the business of movement," says Patrick-Louis Vuitton, a fifth-generation member of the founding family who oversees all of LV's custom projects. "A special order is a compromise between desires and needs from the client and our aesthetic and technical requirements." - Men's Vogue
Louis Vuitton makes about 450 special-order cases every year at their Asnières, France workshop. The process of creating a perfect case for a client's needs can take four to five months, but their policy is to never exceed eight.
Over the years, cases have been created for everything from hookah pipes to a portable altar for a French priest heading to a desert archaeological dig in the 1920's.
Louis Vuitton won't make just anything, though. If they don't like your request (say, to put little LV's all over the interior of your car, a move similar to the one that ended up with Britney Spears on the losing end of a Vuitton lawsuit), they'll modify the idea and make a suggestion - their polite version of refusal.

Louis Vuitton Patented Diamonds
by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —
Filed under: Jewelry
Louis Vuitton has just launched two patented diamond cuts.These tough economic times give us few excuses to splurge on items that will be out of fashion in a couple of months. Louis Vuitton diamonds are the antidote to this problem.
You probably recognized the maker of these diamonds before even reading the heading. That's the kind of brand recognition that guarantees the longevity of Louis Vuitton.
These classic cuts, reminiscent of Louis Vuitton's signature prints, are sure to be in style forever. Size may vary, but these are the kind of diamonds you pass down to your grandchildren. They are not so much a splurge as a sensible diamond investment.
The rounded and pointed flower cuts you see at right may not be right for an engagement ring (who would brand love like that?), but for earrings and other decorative jewelry, these cuts are sure to be a hit.
The Vuitton diamonds have between 61 and 77 facets and have been set into a bracelet, a pair of earrings, two brooches, a ring and a necklace-the latter consisting of 1,001 tiny brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 15 carats, coexisting with 65 round flower diamonds (49 carats) and 79 pointed ones (44 carats), for a combined bling bang of 108 carats that retails for about $4 million.
Louis Vuitton Sunset Boulevard
[Louis Vuitton]
What attracted me firstly is not the bag, but the name. Sunset Boulevard, the street is an icon of Hollywood celebrity culture and an enduring shorthand for the glamour associated with Tinseltown, witnessed so much vanity and decadence. Till now when I wrote this article, Michael Ball’s melodious song lingers in my ears. I have to say, Sunset Boulevard strongly fascinates a plethora of ladies, even if it comes from Louis Vuitton.
This full feminine clutch with an elegant design is picked the stunning Monogram Vernis leather, ideal for the day or as an accessory to a dressy evening outfit. Deft silhouette with right capacity of 9.4" x 4.7" x 1.2" is ample enough to hold daily-using items and ball belongings. What ingenious is the interior design. Six credit cards compartments and a zip pocket for change are as much as possible to help ladies separate their accessories orderly. Removable strap made of gold brass chain and patent leather realizes its double service- carried by hand or on the shoulder. In addition, it features tone on tone calf leather trimmings and secure press stud closure that is ornamented metal plate with the Louis Vuitton signature on the flap. This dreamy clutch exists four colors for opting- gris art deco, rose florentin, pomme d’amour, and bleu nuit. Whatever you choose, it would perfectly highlight your glamour constantly. If you are hesitant by the hefty price tags on authentic Louis Vuitton Handbag, a cheap Replica Louis Vuitton Handbag is a great alternative.Louis Vuitton Amelia Clutch Comes Back in New Styles
I have bought some designer clutches in small, or we can call it modest size. It is true that this kind of medium bag is handy and smart in outlook, but it is not that marvelous for using. You won’t like the feeling that your credits card stuck in your elegant purse. It would be embarrassed. That is the main reason for me to introduce this Louis Vuitton Amelia Clutch.
Actually Louis Vuitton has released the Amelia clutch before in a relatively smaller size, the kind of awkward elegant designer clutch. This LV Amelia clutchcomes back in a size of 8.8" x 4.3" x 1.6" in six colors. I have reason to believe that you can find a suitable color. Its large size includes 16 credit card slots, four interior patch pockets for receipts and bills, two large compartments for banknotes and two long zipped purses for coins, one at the back and one inside. That is 24 independent containers together. You can do the math. Besides being functional, this LV clutch is appealing in outlook. This feminine clutch in soft and supple Mahina leather and perforated Monogram makes its ideal for both day and evening using, if only there was a golden brass chain comes along. Why not find yourself with a Replica LV Bag at a cheaper price?
