Like many other major fashion labels, Louis Vuitton sells a bunch of stuff that’s not necessarily fashion-related. Unless you count as fashion-related the fact that it’s monogrammed with the world-famous LV brand aesthetic.
If you’re still in a rush to check the list of your Christmas presents, the bad news is it’s too late: Santa’s coming tonight, so whatever you decide to buy won’t ship in time. But you could still make an impression with a purchase, even if it won’t be delivered in time. The only condition is to be rich enough; having no practical sense whatsoever would also help.
Louis Vuitton is selling a monogrammed kite. An overpriced, not at all special, Louis Vuitton-branded kite. And it’s charging $10,400 for it, before taxes and shipping. So that would be well over $11,000 in total.
The LV Kite was actually debuted at the Spring/Summer 2020 runway presentation last year, when models were sent down the catwalk bearing box-shaped kites on their backs, in a variety of models and colors. This one is made of nylon with the instantly recognizable monogram print and comes with a matching canvas carrying bag.
Hilariously, the product’s description says the carrying bag is in “a standout red shade,” but the actual product pictured is LV brown.
Described as “a stand-out gift for the outdoor enthusiasts” and “a playful piece,” the LV Kite is now the subject of much debate and ridicule on social media, once it was discovered by TikToker Jeffrey Huang. People have very heated opinions about LV selling what is ultimately a very basic kite and a shameless price, but also about those who will, without a doubt, be ordering it while stocks last.
As Huang himself puts it, though not in these exact words, at this price, the LV Kite would better take you anywhere in the world you want to be. And provide complimentary amenities and services along the way.
