Brief Introduction of Louis Vuitton's VIP Club
Since launching its prestigious fashion house in the mid-1800s, Louis Vuitton has been designing premium Louis Vuitton purses, luggage, wallets, and sunglasses that are sold at its lavish stores throughout the world. If you're among one of LV's more elite customers, the only limit to your Louis Vuitton collection is your imagination. The designer commissions a limited amount of special orders for its most well-heeled patrons. Louis Vuitton takes its custom orders very seriously, which is why they have a dedicated department for them at their headquarters in Paris, France.
On any given year, approximately 600 custom orders are completed at the Louis Vuitton workshop. Here are just some of the notable special-request items that have been created since the company's inception:
• A large standing makeup trunk, crafted for a Japanese Kabuki artist
• A custom travel trunk, built for a Saudi prince
• Two custom iPod cases, crafted for legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld
• Novelty Louis Vuitton cases, designed to house minibars and backgammon sets
• A cushioned Louis Vuitton bag designed to carry a birthday cake
• An extra-long Louis Vuitton trunk, for the travels of a 19th-century Italian explorer heading out on an African expedition
• A custom tea case, for the maharaja of Baronda
• A custom driver's bag from the 1920s, designed to fit inside the center of a spare wheel
What benefit does the company receive from completing these special orders? The manager of the special orders department notes that custom orders help to reinforce the prestige and exclusivity of the brand, while keeping its preferred customers happy. The commission of these extravagant items also generates good publicity for the company.
For well-heeled patrons that have the necessary funds, Louis Vuitton will create an array of special-order items -- although they do have certain requirements. The company will only commission items that exemplify the spirit in which the fashion house was founded -- to create the finest travel items available. If you order something other than a handbag, travel case, wallet, jewelry case, or sunglasses, it may not be approved for construction. In one scenario, a client attempted to order a custom Louis Vuitton casket, a request that was ultimately denied.
When placing a special order for a Louis Vuitton travel item, anything goes. Any Louis Vuitton store accepts special orders, although they must be approved by the special orders department before they can be processed. Custom items can take up to six months to be completed. While you're waiting on your item, the company will keep you apprised of its status by sending pictures at each stage. All items in your custom collection will have a unique lock number. You'll even have the opportunity to go into the Louis Vuitton workshop to hammer in the last nail.
Custom items generally start at around $2,900, and can easily run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Prices vary based on the time and materials required. For around $21,000, you can commission a deluxe chest made from inlaid ebony and maple woods with a supple leather case.
The main advantage of ordering a unique Louis Vuitton handbag or travel bag is that you'll know for a fact that your item is one-of-a-kind. You can rest assured you'll never see the same bag elsewhere.
Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Rosewood Bag
As said, rosewood refers to any of a number of richly hued timbers, often brownish with darker veining. All rosewoods are strong, heavy as well as taking an excellent polish. Named after and inspired by the rosewood, Louis Vuitton created a fabulous purse, Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Rosewood Bag which shares the similar color and polish with the rosewood. Anyhow, this Rosewood is a refined yet classic purse, suitable for day to night use.Small Juicy Couture Topanga Nylon Tote in Dried Sage Green
Do you know Topanga? It is an unincorporated area in western Los Angeles County, US. The district is bounded on three sides by park or conservancy lands. It is not easy to find such a livable place nowadays as it is not easy to see such a fresh Juicy Couture Small Topanga Nylon Tote. As you may have noticed, this bag highlights the puffer coat inspiration. Another cheering point is that this designer purse comes in dried sage green.Louis Vuitton L’ingénieux PM
Inspired by the retro-chic shapes of classic bags, Louis Vuitton L’ingénieux PM combines a modern sensibility with “couture” finishes. Tame appearance exudes immense luxury from its petite silhouette, and simple color cannot cover its inherent elegance. In a word, this Louis Vuitton bag omits the funky dazzling design and returns the original essence that the top luxury branding always works for.
