PARIS: A designer handbag in the elaborate shape of an airplane is drawing people’s attention particularly for its ridiculous price tag – which is actually more than an actual single-engine jet.
American designer Virgil Abloh designed the bag which was released in Louis Vuitton Winter – Fall men’s collection 2021. The extraordinary bag could set you back more than an actual plane would as the men’s accessory was tagged with a whopping $US39,000.

The only thing that’s makes it crazy expensive is the brand itself, why else do you think it would cost a leg and arm?
The moderate size bag with a masculine monogram has become an object of ridicule on different social media platforms as many trolled the fashion company to set the exorbitant price that is they believed it foolish to spend on a bag as you can purchase a real airplane for less.
The designer bag, which was launched to attract the filthy rich and collectors, also gained the attention of a US carrier Southwest Airlines, which also trolled by posting a plane-shaped soft toy, stating, “ours is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper, and makes a takeoff noise when squeezed. Just saying.”

Let it be known that, this is not the first time LV has launched such a product and draw public ire. The company has a history of making luxury or travel bags that are great to carry but too steep.
