i've never been this excited about a movie since the release of "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou". "The Darjeeling Ltd." is director Wes Anderson's latest movie. he is by far my utmost favourite movie director. he also wrote and directed "The Royal Tenenbaums" and produced "The Squid and the Whale". these two and "The Life Aquatic" are three of my all-time favourite movies. i particularly love the quirky, retroesque, Wallpaper*-magazine-the-Tyler-Brulee-years look of his films. but what makes "Darjeeling" even more exciting (well, to me anyway) is the participation of a special cutom-made set of Louis Vuitton luggage and leather goods. Marc Jacobs - a good friend of Mr Anderson - specially designed a unique set of luggage in what appears to be Nomade leather hand painted with rather naïve drawings of jungle animals by Anderon's brother Eric. here is a photo of the luggage:

here they are in a still shot from the movie:

these one-off luggages are currently on display at the LV flagship store in New York and will be later auctioned off for charity.

more information about the movie can be found HERE
i absolutely can't wait!!!!

rd1880 > i'd LOVE to own that Nil reporter bag on Jason Schwartzman. "9" is my favourite number. but it'll be too expensive i would think.
