If you’re an avgeek and fashionista (those are often mutually exclusive, in my experience, and I’m looking at myself here) who has $39,000 burning a hole in your pocket, then the new Louis Vuitton airplane bag designed by Virgil Abloh is probably for you.

And nope, this isn’t an April Fools’ joke, as this is actually part of Louis Vuitton’s fall/winter 2021 collection.

Price aside, I can’t decide if this is my favorite or least favorite bag ever. I mean, I love that Louis Vuitton is embracing aviation, but what is this monstrosity of an airplane?

I think it’s an awesome idea. I’d love to have one but I don’t have that kind of money.

This reminds me of George Carlin's comment that "if you nail together two things that have never been nailed together before, some schmuck will buy it from you."

@Ben I think you mean "burning a *hole* in your pocket."

Ever since Virgil Abloh took over men’s creative director post, Vuitton’s taste level has steadily gone down hill. Everything he designed is not for travel anymore but for hypebeasts to show off on Instagram. Gone are the days when bags produced are suitable/ practical for travel. This plane for example, is epitome of the type of design he likes to produce; it’ll stand out on Instagram but virtually useless as a traveling bag. Oh and don’t worry about walking into Louis Vuitton and finding this sitting on a shelf. Items like this are made to order; you will need to plunk down cash in advance (full amount) and wait 6-8 month for delivery. Make sure you pay with citi double cash to get 2x points. ;)
