The bag has the recognisable Louis Vuitton lettering and a blue closure to keep sandwiches or any other valuables.
Louis Vuitton's Sandwich Bag is priced at ₹ 2,80,000 ($3374.56).
Luxury fashion companies are renowned for their innovative ideas. Luxurious goods, however, also have outrageous prices. Numerous things that went viral online include the Dolce & Gabbana "Khaki Ski Mask Cap" for ₹ 32,000 ($385.66) or the Hugo Boss flip-flops offered for ₹ 9,000 ($108.47). Now, French brand Louis Vuitton has launched a Sandwich Bag made of cowhide leather at a shocking price of ₹ 2,80,000 ($3374.56).
The piece went on sale on January 4 and is designed by the Men's Creative Director of the French luxury fashion house Pharrell Williams. He has drawn inspiration from a classic paper sandwich bag for the design of the new accessory. The large clutch is made of cowhide leather "in exactly the same colour as the house's famed (paper) shopping bags."
Additionally, it has the recognisable Louis Vuitton lettering and a blue closure to keep sandwiches or any other valuables.
"The Louis Vuitton Sandwich Bag is made from supple cowhide leather in exactly the same colour as the House's famed shopping bags. And features the same 'Louis Vuitton' and 'Maison Fondee En 1854' lettering found on the bags. Inside there's a zipped pocket and a double flat pocket to keep things organized," the brand said on its website. Further, Louis Vuitton said that it measures 30 centimetres in length, 27 centimetres in height and 17 centimetres in width.
Several internet users reacted to the design and the cost of the bag.
"Looks like generated with AI," said a person.
Another wrote, "It's giving Mc Donald's."
"Damn, y'all got Richie rich, luxury brown bag isn't something I thought the world needed," said a third person.
"Perfect for Joey Tribbiani," remarked a user.
An X user added, "Always find this stuff interesting to make everyday items like a paper bag into high fashion."

"So now you can even flex with lunch box ?? No this is hard," read a comment.
Someone finally filled this overlooked niche.
I was securing a high end fashion store for a night and they had Converse style running shoes, that were no better quality than what we buy, and it as $1000.
This looks like a good way to lose a very nice sandwich.
Anyone who can afford this probably packs a really great lunch for work.
I want a designer vomit bag ($7299) and a designer piss pot ($45899).
As an LVMH shareholder, all I can say is... I’m glad there are people in the world who buy this kind of crap.
Smart people know to buy their Louis Vuitton knockoffs at the flea market for $49. You can’t tell the difference.
The only high end things I buy new are Brahmin.
They last forever and no knock offs.
Everything else is second hand or upscale resale...furs, designer clothes, boots, coats, shoes. Even my jewelry is pawn shop.
Pennies on the dollar and I dress like a queen.
You can get an American politician for less than that! Come on, man! Of course, they're rather ugly....
Only for beef samiches?
What is this for, gay construction workers?
Paris Hilton when she’s brown bagging...................
You told me some time back you were likely expiring soon.
Delighted to see you made it to 2024!
You own a Hindu priest? 😉
200 thousand each.
The Chinese are probably already knocking them off for $5 a pop.
Who needs a Rolex when you can get a dull-a** bag with bland lettering and an odd orange color to carry your sammiches in?
Is there a discount on the family pack?
Well, it is reusable, unlike the paper bags...
