Louis Vuitton’s $52,500 Limited Edition Handbag

I’m sure some of you have heard about this outrageous bag. Louis Vuitton claimed that this Tribute Patchwork handbag to be the most expensive and exclusive bag, they ever made. There are only 5 available for sale in North America and 24 worldwide. Beyoncé Knowles is said to be one of the first who bought it, the other 4 prefer to remain anonymous.
This bag is handmade at a workshop in France, made up of 14 Louis Vuitton handbags’ pieces, including the Monogram Denim from Spring 2005, the Lady Steamer with Alligator from Fall 2006, the Cuir Tresse from Spring 2007 and the Talentueux Suhali from Spring 2003.
It was said that Marc Jacobs designed the Tribute Patchwork “as a celebration of the history of Louis Vuitton.” With all my respects to Mr. Jacobs whom I personally admire, the idea is absolutely genius but I’m afraid I would never buy this bag, even with all the money in the world. I prefer the previous LV patchwork bag, the Conte de Fées line in collaboration with Julie Verhoeven. With $ 52,500 in hand, I’d rather spend it on a down payment of a nice and cozy condo *in my dreamss ;P or at least, getting every single LV classic collection of bags and trunks.
So, what do you think of this bag?

duit buat beli tas bisa dipake buat beli mobil atau rumah ya? dipake buat naik haji bisa bayarin orang sekampung ini. hehehehe
kok gue pusing yah ngeliatnyaa.. lebih suka LV yang klasik2.. kapan yakk gue punya LV… :p
duit segitu mah bisa buat bayarin gue master euyy~ heuehueuhu
Aduuh, kok bisa sih orang suka tas ini. Nggak ada aestheticnya sama sekali. Harganya $100 juga gue gak bakalan beli, let alone $52K. I’m pretty sure, sejarang2nya tas, someone (or two) in Indonesia would already bought it. Liat aja di Bazaar, Tattler or Prestige in a few months, yakin banget pasti ada yang make nih tas. Gilingan yak!
Dengan uang segitu, gue bisa beli semua tas LV yang gue suka..banyak malah lebih nya…hehehe, two monograms bags, one luggage, one damier, some suhali and epi pieces, the vernis, olympe nimbus, wallet & organizer..tuh kan sisa nya masih lebih dari setengah harga tas ini…:D
I hate that bag with a passion. Didn’t they have one like this last season? Ugh. So gross.
gue mau duit mentahnya aja deh hehehehe
an absolutey nay ! buat gue patchwork identik sama selimut ….
ya ampyuuuuuun…tas kaya gitu aja muahal bener! diksh gratis jg gak akan gw pake deh ;p mending duitnya buat tambahin beli rmh aja
Gue yakin yang 1 Beyonce yang sisanya orang Indonesia
, soalnya disini kan makin mahal makin laku weiceh.
terlalu rame, darling..
feels like walk with 10 bags sekaligus..
na-ah..
Mahal benerrrr…dan *sorry to say* kesannya kayak dari sisa2 bahan2 LV yang sebelum2nya udah ga kepake trus daripada sayang dibuang dijadiin TAS “BERGENGSI” dan dibilang limited edition *sighhhhhhh*..dasar marketing =)
hihihih…kalo gw milyuner pasti gw beli
tapi ga bakal gw pake jalan2 sih. melainkan bakalan gw pajang (kayak lukisan) di kamar wardrobe gw 
ga keliatan ya kalo harganya selangit.. mmm..ga banget aja (dan ga mampu beli juga)..;p
omigod..what was marc jacobs thinking??!!!
agree wif the others! LV bag-nya ga bagus.. apalagi harganya.. tapi stuju ma mskellybag, kalo gw punya duit sgitu banyak gw pasti beli, for investment gt.. kan limited edition, pasti beberapa thn mendatang bakal lebih mahal harganya, kayak art gt dehh..
It is so fuggly! Dikasih gw juga ga mau make. Gw jual kali ke yang mau hahaha
euuuuuuuuwhh…*klo ini lebih kepada harganya*…tappii ih serem ya tasnya….hoho ga tau knapa..overall penampakannya nyeremin aja ..more like a mutant…a mutant bag..hehehehe ;p
That’s really a fun piece of art! Beyonce looks great with that bag–is she matching her eye makeup with the bag?
haha
i totally agree with all the comments here.. it really shows that our FD readers DO have an exquisite taste and a good eye 
lilblackdress : my sis & i thought the same way, it looks like they’re just using all the leftover materials to make this bag and claim it as ‘a tribute’ !
buset deh mahal amiiiiiir
nggak ada bagus2nya pula. gile yah pasti orang2 pada beli cuma buat gengsi doang deh…
nggak ada bagus2nya gitu deh tasnya
Lucu kok.
*nahan ketawa karena saya tidak ada temannya*. Serius..
Kalau kita ignore harganya dan hanya menilai tasnya alias bendanya semata-mata, sebenernya lucu juga. Emang sih, selera gue suka ancur kalo kata temen2 gue. Mereka bilang “Binyo banget”. Jangan-jangan Beyonce itu binyo?
i’m with you dundan. i mean, beyonce looks really funky and young with it. she might be the only one who could pull it off though…
i agree with dundan & Lena..
i like the bag, tapi harganya itu loooh.. mahal bgt!!
I think the bag’s a classic.. it’s a patchwork of all great design LV collections.. I love it! who are the other holders of this bag?
Terlalu rame n kyk kain perca.Mending duitnya disumbang buat org2 miskin di negri ini drpd hanya utk gengsi.:)
Amazing what SHIT a name like LV can sell!!!!
I don’t even like to have patchwork for my bedcover, let alone a bag I (might, or should, for the price) carry around all the time.
I think it’s fugly!!
you know even if one is a celebrity doesn’t mean that one has good taste.
Some people are just blinded by brand and this time, they are blinded BIG time!! and so is Marc Jacobs!!
I’ve got nothing but high praises for him in the past.
I LVoe and I collect LV pieces eventhough my collection is not that much. When I saw this bag for the first time, I just said to my self that this is the ugliest bag from LV. YUCK!!!
Barusan tadi abis dari Plaza Semanggi. Gue antri mo bayar di kasir Bread Talk and ohhh my god.. sampe mata gue kaya kelilipan dan bengong liatnya bener gak bener gak.. Tapi bener!!! That’s it! salah satu wanita perempuan Indonesia pake tas ini. She’s so elegant, beautiful wearing this bag. Sayang gak sempet di foto. Setelah itu dia beli donut di J-CO entah berapa lusin pokoknya buanyaaaakkk banget
yrachmi, yakin tasnya itu asli? hihihihihi
gw gak akan terbeli tuh tas, daku tak mampu
even gw ada duit pun, better beli another speedy, neverfuul etc. tapi kalo gratis whuaaaaa mauuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
gw gak akan terbeli si mr patchwork ini, secara tidak mampu
kalo pun gw ada duit, mending beli another speedy, neverfull, etc. bisa buat LV bags room
The bag is wack. It looks like a bunch of piled up everything thrown together and labeled a masterpiece. People are so ego-driven they buy Bu&lsh!t like this just to feel divided and disconnected, “Yeah, Im the only person with this one of a kind bag”, “Dont nobody else have a bag like this”. Even though the sh!t is a mess they want to wear it because it cost this and they say it that and so and so designed it. Bucking the mess out of them because they know ego-driven people are ignorant enough to make that dumb a$$ purchase. “OOh girl, they only made a limited anount of these kinds of bags, you cant buy this from any store.” When you take the bag apart, it is made and look like every other bag produced in those underground sweat shops. The only thing that really makes it exclusive is the rediculous a$$ price.
kaya tambalan kain perca deh..
kalo menurut gw bagus sih but ga worth in ma harga.
mending hermes kale….modelnya clasic n berkelas

bagus sih . tapi kalo uangnya segitu mending gw beli mobil . orang tau harganya . kalopun gw beli tas itu , nggak bakal ada yang percaya itu tas mahal . :p
ermm, mungkin g minoritas disini.. but I agree with dundan.. lucu tasnya… tapi with that price tag.. I think I’ll pass…=P~

Kayak tas hasil daur ulang (dari tas sama dompet yang ga kepake ditempel jadi satu). Mungkin ada yang mao bikin kayak gini, siapa tahu laku hehehe…
Yana ngerancang tas ama yang buka harga sama sama pas kena stroke kali ya , saya yakin si om louis vuitton kalo tau bisa bangkit dari kubur tuh
Tas mahal yg aneh…hihihiii…
