Louis Vuitton USB Flash Drive: Total Bling
Posted on November 26, 2007
Filed Under DeLuxeNews | 1 Comment
Louis Vuitton, home of luxury leather luggage from a French designer, will soon be releasing a USB flash drive for the fashionable geeks. No word on the price yet but I think this is the closes I can get to owning an LV. Or so I think. I am expecting that will cost more that the price of an ordinary laptop simply because it’s Louis Vuitton. The luxury USB flashdrive is designed by Fred de Garilhe and will be available in yellow or white gold. There will be 4 variations to this fashionable gadget :
- White gold and LV logos with digital clock, yellow diamond on white gold key
- White gold, ostrich leather, yellow gold chain and key, blue sapphire diamond
- White gold satin polished finish, white gold chain and key, pink sapphire diamond
- White gold, black alligator leather, black PVD treatment on white gold (chemical pulverize on it), mechanical clock that you can arm behind the US Bijou, and a green sapphire diamond
Adding total more ‘wow’ factor is its 40Gb of memory space. Now that’s impressive. Question is : will hardcore geeks and fashionistas dig this? No. Just make that : what will fashionista and LV fans make use of 40GB of USB? (ReBu)

I mean, I wonder why someone would ever need a solid gold remote control, unless of course he’s about to commit suicide and doesn’t know what to do with this money. But then again, the money can be put to better use right? Read more

It’s good for a change, except that it’s a lil too gimmicky and fake to hold good in real life. Read more
