Interestingly enough, at last night's Met Costume Institute Gala, Marc Jacobs was quoted as saying that luxurious trunks are not likely to make a comeback. "I don't think there's anything practical about travelling with a trunk," Jacobs said. "Luxury travel is traveling with a toothbrush. That's it, end of story. The people who really live luxurious lives don't need to pack. They've got stuff wherever they go." Well said, MJ. Source: luxist.com

"Breakfast in the Desert" Trunk
This is truly a Tuesday Trunk Tidbitz day. I thought the Cake Trunk was cool enough. Apparently, a Chinese gentleman has commissioned from Asnieres, which will produce anything within reason, a "Breakfast in the Desert" Trunk . The client "wanted to be able to watch television and offer coffee to his friends wherever he traveled in the world, including the remotest desert," LV's Patrick-Louis Vuitton recounts. "We agreed to put two solar panels linked to a battery for the flat-screen TV and DVD player, two-way radio, tuner and coffee machine." The trunk is covered in Damier Ebene with the usual red lining.
