Vuitton – L’ame du voyage 2010 luggage catalog
Okay, well, YYC…..having actually traveled throughout East Africa with our maximum 40 lb allowance of luggage PER PERSON —we can’t quite fathom the pilot’s ‘welcome aboard’ as you arrive with a score of hard sided cases (which even empty weigh in at about seven times the weight limit).
As we flew from camp to camp the planes got smaller and smaller. Picture a Yugo with wings and two propellers. (No,
don’t — Abercrombie and Kent beg you) — but, so what — I mean, even if your plane can’t get lift due to your score of LV treasures—you’ll look really spiffy on the dirt runway in the middle of the Masai Mara.
Undoubtedly, the wildebeest and Masai will be duly impressed.
Remember to wear your John Lobb shoes, Charvet shirt (400 shades of white, monsieur) WITH French Cuffs, and Dior Homme Suit. The Natives really dig that on Safari, too.
Bon Voyage et Bon Chance.

I am a collector of Louis Vuitton, but I must agree with you. The hard sided cases can be used as wonderful props and decorative accessories, they are not practical in post 9/11 travel. Without a coterie including an elephant and several guides with firepower, they are not appropriate in India or Africa either. Perhaps this is an attempt at whimsy by Vuitton to conjure a different age in the minds of people who either have too much money and dream of colonialism (and wouldn’t touch a country in Africa even if Geoff Kent escorted them personally) or people who have never traveled beyond the confines of a Carnival cruise line. Good writing. Edwardo
