Loro Piana "My Ski Boots Bag" redefines luxury luggage for the slopes.

Skiing may cater to a wide variety of tastes, and try very hard to fit into all budgets, but no matter what, when you tell someone you are off skiing, images of luxury chalets, snow bunnies, minor european royalty and hollywood celebrities will be the first things to pop into their mind, regardless of how all inclusive and low priced a package you may have secured.

And with top level accessories for the true luxury ski connoussier such as this abg from Loro Piana, it os no small wonder frankly, made entirely from Loro Piana's hard wearing signature Fjord Leather, which manages to not only be tough, but also water resistant, it is lined with nylon microfiber for sticking those wet boots back in the bag when you finish, which can then be removed later if you wish to return to a all leather interior.

Add to this a side pocket in cashmere for a ski mask, two side pockets lined in microfiber for wet gloves coming off piste, and an entirely waterproof zip system that ensures only you will be getting wet out there.

"But wait", we hear you say, "surely there is more", and you would be correct, as the image above shows, with the little d.c. plug snaking out the side, there is more to this bag than being tough and waterproof, the internal compartment, top, bottom and sides have heating elements built into them, so that either at the chalet, or using the car adapter, you can hat your snow boots on the way to the slopes, an ingenious and practical inclusion on this exceptionally luxurious product.

And the cost for all this luxury and functionality?   Sadly that is the caveat, the best things in life do not come cheap, and neither does this bag, at £7025.
