If you want to upgrade an object’s fashion status (and cost), one of the easiest things to do is add the iconic Louis Vuitton monogram to it. From hats to an actual toilet, Louis Vuitton’s iconic monogram has been featured on just about everything to heighten a product’s exclusivity, fashionability, and frankly, price. The latest item is a hand-built bicycle born from a collaboration between two French masters of style, Louis Vuitton and Maison TAMBOITE Paris. It is a Louis Vuitton special edition bicycle called the Maison TAMBOITE LV Bike.
The LV bike is handcrafted using lightweight enameled and chrome steel featuring an interlocking LV-shaped frame. Because this is a special edition bike, the two-wheeled vehicle wears LV’s eye-catching monogram throughout its construction. The bicycle seat is upholstered in genuine leather featuring LV monograms. The wheel rims display the LV name in white lettering amidst a red backdrop, and the bicycle frame is wrapped in an LV monogrammed leather coat. The bike accessories include leather-wrapped handlebars, a luggage rack wearing LV monogrammed leather, and wooden mudguards. Other useful features on the LV bike include a built-in GPS tracker, LED light, and shock absorbers under the seat for added comfort. The LV bike is scheduled to be sold in Louis Vuitton stores exclusively.
