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."

Take the bag...Leave the sandwich.

“designer piss pot” It’s already been thought of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOkZdhBo-Us Go to the 7:30 mark.
“Conspicuous consumption” is a real thing, I suppose. How insecure do you have to be to spend $3300 smackers on something like that. Nothing says insecure jerk like 33-hundred dollar sandwich bag.
A $49 dollar quartz crystal watch (digital or analog) keeps better time than a Rolex. A Rolex just says “I have more money that some third world countries.”
Wow! You really know how to accessorize!
LVMH employs close to 200,000 and has annual revenues in the region of $90 billion.
Seems like they know their markets and target audience.
The old saying:
“Nobody ever went broke catering to the rich.”
seems to apply....................
Stupid people with more money than they know what to do with...The average Middle Class woman probably would be embarrassed to carry it if it only cost $15.00
PT Barnum was right.
🎼Don’t worry...be happy...$$$$
I worked at a software company with a guy who had used the same paper bag for his lunch for about 5 years, ever since he graduated college. It was just a common brown paper sandwich bag. It was almost transparent from the grease that had soaked into it, but otherwise in suprisingly good shape. He would fold it up very carefully after he took his sandwich out of it and take it back home with him. No designer sandwich bag for him.
Think of all the bacteria on that bag!................
That is not a sandwich bag. It is a lunch bag. A sandwich bag is a sealable plastic bag that a single sandwich goes in.
That sounds obscene.
“There’s a sucker born every minute.”
You’ve never heard that euphemism before?.............
I’m familiar with the term in the context of bringing lunch to work ...
Bringing Miss Hilton into the picture just vaguely changes things.

If you want to be very polite and upscale while insulting a fool just say:
“It looks like you have a Veblen good there.”

Thankfully I got in to see Dr. McCullough and he started me on his COVID detox protocol. The novel seizures I was experiencing were life threatening (my autonomic functions, including breathing, would cease). It definitely helped. He bought me a year or two.
I’m still house-bound and lose at least one day a week. I work when I can but will be forced to retire soon. Chronic fatigue is my best friend.
Definitely not the life I envisioned or my family was used to, but everyone’s adjusted to the new normal. I have to make it to election day, otherwise I vote Democrat. :)
