Louis Vuitton Cards

October 9th, 2009

They say that conspicuous consumption is dead, that is tacky to be seen in luxury labels, that frugal is the new black.  It may be for some people, and we appreciate the restraint, especially when so many people are suffering.  But we still love what we call little luxuries: the small things we don’t really need, but like to have around just because.  Like this card deck from Louis Vuitton, complete with a nice box that remind us of the days when bigger purchases were okay.  And no, there is absolutely no reason to own playing cards designed by a luxury label, but that’s what makes us appreciate these more.  This set, the perfect gift for the man or woman who has everything, comes with three decks of cards (see, they are trying to give you a bit of bang for your buck!) emblazoned with the Louis Vuitton logo.  So while they happen to be wildly overpriced at just over $100, they also are deliciously in reach.  Which we like.  Because, quite frankly, we don’t want frivolous to be dead, and we don’t think it needs to be.   Visit Louis Vuitton for more information.
