French luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton has put a modern twist on one of its most classic heritage pieces: the Bisten suitcase. The new Monogram Titane collection sees the iconic range dressed up in a titanium external finishing, complete with LV’s monogram design laser-engraved onto the surface. The usual brass components have been replaced with ruthenium hardware, a rare platinum metal providing sleek black detailing for a truly luxurious look.

Elsewhere on the suitcase, natural cowhide leather wraps around the corners and the handle, offering both protection and an elevated aesthetic. The interior is lined with a matching grey microfiber, coupled with cotton straps to keep your belongings secure. As with its non-metallic counterpart, the Monogram Titane suitcases are secured via two side clasps and a central lock closure and key. Louis Vuitton offers three models of varying sizes to choose from: the 50, 55, and 60.

For those interested, the Louis Vuitton Bisten Monogram Titane Collection is now available at retailers and online, selling for $41,000 USD for the 50, $43,500 USD for the 55, and $46,500 USD for the 60.

In other fashion news,  Qucon has teamed up with Evisen Skateboards and Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama on a special capsule.
