LOUIS VUITTON LAUNCHES ITS FIRST BICYCLE.

COLORADO IS A STATE ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF ALL THINGS BIKE, but this is new. You might think a house founded in 1854 doesn’t have any more tricks up its monogrammed sleeves. But that’s simply not the case for Louis Vuitton as the luxury brand introduces its first-ever bicycle. Teaming up with Parisian bike-maker Maison Tamboite, another legend circa 1912, the bike is a reinvention of its classic model, with customization on offer in a litany of features. Available in five models, there are two additional exclusive styles in collaboration with artist Urs Fischer. This luxury ride has many of Louis Vuitton’s classic hallmarks. From a monogram flower chain set to an interlocking LV-shaped frame to carefully selected top-end leather enveloping each saddle, handlebar and cables, Louis Vuitton materials are also found on the luggage rack of the closed-frame bike and on the front basket of the step-through frame bike. The finishing touch? Your own initials, of course. Louis Vuitton bike GM with closed frame, louisvuitton.com
