Louis Vuitton Turning Auto Rickshaws Into A High-End Designer Bag Will Make You See Street Style In A Whole New Way

Would you drop everything to buy a designer handbag in the shape of a literal auto-rickshaw? Well, Louis Vuitton seems to think someone out there absolutely would. As the luxury label unveiled its latest menswear collection in Paris a few days ago, ardent fashion lovers couldn’t help but notice a new addition to their growing collection of quirky bags – an auto, of course! Tucked away on a top shelf during the brand鈥檚 post-show re-see, the bag quietly made its debut, not on the runway, not on a model, but sitting like a secret waiting to go viral. And yes, once you see it, you definitely can’t unsee it. From planes to trunks, animals and whatnot, the brand isn’t averse to quirky handbags, but this one is definitely in a league of its own. The bag is a miniature, high-shine version of India鈥檚 most iconic three-wheeler, reimagined in true LV style. It may be far from practical, but that was never the goal anyway. This isn鈥檛 a 鈥渢hrow your keys and lipstick in it鈥 kind of bag. This is fashion with a wink鈥攁 collector鈥檚 piece, a talking point, a dare in leather and metal. Like many other novelty items in the market, this one is less about utility and more about attitude. It goes without saying that the auto bag is bound to cost a small fortune. And yes, the price point might be vaguely absurd, but that’s kinda the point with luxury goods. Louis Vuitton has long made a habit of turning the unexpected into high fashion鈥攆rom miniature airplanes to giant paperclip necklaces. So why not a rickshaw? Considering the latest Louis Vuitton show was a love letter to India, are we even surprised to see a literal auto squeezing its way into the long line of elite items?
