Karl Lagerfeld's Bespoke Vuitton iPod Trunk
My colleague Annie Scott recently wrote about how Louis Vuitton custom makes one-of-a-kind cases for special clients who can afford the service. One of our favorite examples of Vuitton's bespoke art is the iPod carrying case trunk (above) the famed French firm made for Chanel kingpin Karl Lagerfeld. Made of black Taiga leather with brass fittings and a red microfiber interior, it contains an interior case which holds 20 iPods and a power charger. There are compartments for JBL iPod speakers and subwoofer, and Lagerfeld's initials are stamped in red near the handle. Vuitton will custom make a case for just about anything, provided that it is portable. The process of creating a bespoke case like this can take four to eight months and costs tens of thousands of dollars.

Every time I read stuff like this it makes me want an iPod even less than I already do! *roll eyes* There are so many other PMP's out there that are way better in terms of features and audio quality. But hey, it's all about the branding.
