Is it Green? Louis Vuitton Solar-Powered Suitcase
‘High-tech suitcase’. ‘Sustainable Louis Vuitton’. The words in each of those phrases don’t seem to jive, yet put them all together and you’ve got this monstrosity, reportedly commissioned by a Chinese millionaire.
From the Alternative Consumer:
This luxury suitcase contains an assortment of gadgets and unnecessary tripe like a TV, DVD player, coffee maker and a handy solar panel to keep it all percolating. Just the array of stuff you’ll need if your private jet should go down in the jungle or that third world country you’re visiting to exploit just doesn’t have enough juice out at the diamond mine. Plenty of storage for you fancy underoos and such.
It’s hard to imagine the sort of people who would pay out the ass for Louis Vuitton in the first place even sitting in the sun. I suppose Mr. Mystery Chinese Millionaire makes his servant take the solar panel out to get some rays while he sips tea in the parlor.
Although, it would probably come in handy when you’re hankering to surf the internet sustainably while lounging on a luxury yacht. Hmm, I’ll keep that in mind next time I’m in the market for some ridiculously overpriced, ugly luggage and solar-powered gadgets.
