Louis Vuitton Personalized Men's Luggage for the Private Jet Traveler

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Men's Style

Louis Vuitton has launched a collection of personalized men's luggage designed as the perfect accompaniment to traveling by private jet, ideal for a posh Father's Day present. The collection is introduced under the famed French luxury goods house's "Mon Monogram" program, harking back to the golden age of travel when aristocrats, sportsmen and military officers would have their custom-made luggage emblazoned with their monogram, emblem, racing or regimental colors. Vuitton has selected four different styles of cases ideal for taking aboard everything from a small sport plane you pilot yourself to a tricked-out G-IV. On offer are the Pégase 45 ($2,800) and 55 ($3,270) wheeled cabin cases (top), the iconic Speedy 40 (bottom left, $1,030) and classic Keepall 55 (bottom right, $1,370). Pick a luxe destination and arrive in style.

Louis Vuitton Mon Monogram Service Now Available Online

For some time it has been possible to personalize a Louis Vuitton bag at a number of flagship stores around the world. Now the service is truly global as it is available to all on their web-site.

There are three classic LV bags available for the online service: the Keepall, the Pegase and the Speedy. After choosing the bag and its size there are 17 different colors available for the diagonal or vertical stripes that will adorn your bag. You also have the option to put up to three initials on the bag with or without a "point" between the letters. There are cute features that let you reverse the colors, rotate your bag to view the monogram from all sides, and save your creation to finalize your selection later. If you decide that you must have an entire monogrammed set just push a button and your chosen monogram will be applied to other bags. If you'd like something more complicated, like your family crest, painted on your luggage you'll have to go to a Louis Vuitton store and discuss it with a sales associate in person.

The good news is that you receive free shipping with your online purchase, but be forewarned, the return policy is not the same for the monogrammed items and it can take up to 8 weeks for delivery. It is a bit funny that the web-site touts that there are over 200 million different combinations possible, so even though you are a carrying an LV bag it will be completely unique. However, it does beat tying a piece of colored string to the handle to differentiate your Louis Vuitton from all the others coming off the baggage claim rack at the airport.
