I think they are the best. Not for the shape insomuch as the print. I must agree with one person here, the print works much better on the hard rather than the soft cases emulating that old world style of cases that the first jet setters and seafaring folk had. Love it. But I have to ask why Marc Jacobs is credited so often with their design when the interesting part about them, for me anyway, the animal/palm tree print was actually designed by Wes Anderson’s brother, Eric. Being a graphic man have to admire the oversized monograms and piece numbers.

Those shoes were cool!

supposed to be a luggage set that resembles the luggage that 19-th century millionaires would take with them on their expeditions…..It’s supposed to give you an air that those boys are very very well off.

I love the luggage! I love the print, but in the movie it looks orange, is it really brown? They really didn’t show any design on the belt, I am going to have to look that up next. Jus loved the movie – my kind of movie.

Didn’t anyone understand the whole point of all the luggage was that the three brothers were mentally carrying alot of “mental luggage”; their problems; through out the entire movie? At one point they drop their luggage to rescue the kids and don’t get their luggage back until they leave the village and the funeral for the boy is over. They were finally thinking of someone besides themselves. I loved the luggage. Its hard to let go of problems. They become who you are.

The whole point of the luggage is the animal prints – how could you ‘personally do without’ them? That defeats the whole sartorial / amusement point of the luggage!?! Otherwise, they’re just expensive brown bags.

Personally, I love the luggage in the film. I’m tired (read: bored) of the traditional Louie stuff, and the name-logo prints are embarassing.

I like this luggage for the same reason I love my ferragamo ties – because they’re interesting, different, and a bit of a playful ‘wink’ to the world. Now, if only I can find a company that actually makes luggage like this.

JLW is their father. The luggage set was his.

i agree, it does look fun and so suited for the movie. Although the suitcase looks quite manly for my taste

The animal designs are by the director’s brother, Eric Anderson. The auction in September also benefited the foundation in India where the movie was filmed.

JLW was the father’s initials in the movie.

And yes, they are actually for sale – put only the original pieces that actually appeared in the movie are being sold, as they were the only ones produced. I know that in late September the pieces were on display at the LV store in New York (not sure if they’re still there), and that you could place a silent bid for the entire collection at that location. The proceeds benefit UNICEF, and I’m sure the final ticket price for the pieces will be astronomical.

whats JLW?

I’m actually confused on how Marc actually “designed” any of these pieces, when the shapes are all standard LV luggage designs and the actual print was designed by someone else (it stated this in the credits of the movie). I personally didn’t like the movie, and I didn’t find the luggage to be anything special. Now, Natalie Portman’s outfit in the opening scene – that was spectacular.

This design looks appropriate for the hard sided luggage but not the soft.

Well, some of you LV lovers might think I’m demented but I actually don’t like any of the LV handbags (for accessories I might make an exception). However, this luggage set is so remote from their traditional (and soooo knocked off) styles that I can’t but like it — a lot. Fun and young, reminds me of someone going on 19th century safari.
