French fashion house Louis Vuitton is partnering with BMW for a set of limited edition luggage to match the upcoming BMW i8 hybrid.
The carbon fibre four-piece set is patterned to match the interior of the German auto, with a carbon black finish, natural leather handles and LV’s classic chequered pattern.
Case details are also i8-inspired, with black and electric blue lining, leather nametags and even Louis Vuitton padlocks.
The set is designed to fit in and around the i8's compartments and storage spaces. The larger 'Weekender GM i8' bag fits in the car’s boot and the 'Garment Bag i8' nests neatly on the parcel shelf. A smaller 'Weekender GM i8' is fitted to sit neatly in one rear seat, and the 'Business Case i8' is shaped to fit the other.
The Louis Vuitton BMW i8 luggage series will be available way ahead of the i8, which is expected to debut in 2015. The bags will be available at a limited number of Louis Vuitton stores, including Munich, Milan, London, Paris, Moscow, Dubai, New York and Los Angeles, from April 1, 2014.
