In 2007, Wes Anderson released the Darjeeling Limited. A predictably whimsical and playful tale about three wealthy brothers travelling across India on a spiritual journey, with undertones of chasing an inheritance. A common Anderson theme. While the on-screen stars were the usual Anderson suspects of Owen Wilson and Adrian Brody, another star was Louis Vuitton luggage.
The custom made luggage was a Shibboleth representing the brothers journey, and disposing of it showed their growth. LVMH decided to ignore this message, and seized on their IP by releasing a selection of Darjeeling pieces. Now, fifteen years later, they have released them again.
Never let it be said that Louis Vuitton have run out of creative ideas, for this collection is significantly different than the last. In that it has a lot more pieces. While the old one only had the pieces from the film, this one pastes the custom designed logos' over everything from stationery, to socks.
We don't think going bigger hides the creative bankruptcy of this collection, but if you disagree, the collection is available now, prices ranging from £200.00 to £80,000.00.
