  • Priced at around $10,000, the accessory is listed as “contact concierge services” on Louis Vuitton’s website.
  • Its flotation ring silhouette is fashioned from Louis Vuitton’s signature Monogram canvas, offering a bold reinterpretation of the heritage print.
  • Despite its playful form, the bag incorporates three zipped compartments and an adjustable leather strap for practical cross-body or shoulder wear.
