Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke is set to auction off his custom-built Louis Vuitton cricket trunk, the proceeds of which will go towards charity.

Coinciding with the publication of the book titled  Louis Vuitton: 100 Legendary Trunks, the brand has developed an iPad app of the same name.

The app has pretty much the same content as the book, including images of the most spectacular trunks and cases created on commission by Louis Vuitton, 1000 illustrations and even an ad catalogue from 1892.

On May 2, 2012 Louis Vuitton opened its Taipei 101 Maison on the forth and fifth floor of the iconic Taipei 101 skyscraper, the second tallest building in the world.

As an exclusive for the store, three special-order tea trunks carrying tea sets designed by Hsiao Fan Pottery Art were made. Each was sold for 1.7 million Taiwan dollars ($40,000) during a shopping preview for VIP clients.

For one French wine house, when traveling with valuable, vintage wines there is no wrapping bottles in socks and sweaters, cushioning them with towels and nestling them in suitcases.

For Cordier Mestrezat Grands Crus, prized wines travel in style, laid snugly in a custom-made Louis Vuitton carrying case that can house four bottles.

The specially commissioned wine travel case was showcased at Vinexpo in Bordeaux this week, to mark the French winemaker’s 125th anniversary.

Following the success of their concept car, Infiniti will unveil the Infiniti Essence Sculpture at the Los Angeles Auto Show in a few days.

Crafted from resin by the same creative minds behind the Essence concept, the Essence sculpture will only be produced in a limited run of 300 examples.

Infiniti has contacted Louis Vuitton, asking the luxury products to develop a carrying case (pictured below) for the No. One unit of the Essence Sculpture.

Here’s a preview of LV‘s upcoming book, Louis Vuitton: 100 Legendary Trunks.

This exceptional book showcases the most beautiful creations of the House through more than eight hundred photographs.

Many incredible pieces are featured here, along with the equally incredible stories of their creation. Available from October 2010.
