This is the place to get your hands on the very same luggage that has accompanied Hollywood stars, British aristocrats and Victoria Beckham across the world - if you've got plenty of cash to spare, that is. With prices starting at just under £100 for key rings and going up to £20,000 for a trunk, you might be tempted to hold on to that battered, Columbo-style suitcase just a little longer. Designer Marc Jacob has also introduced a new, more contemporary range of luggage to this heavily labelled but still classy brand, with colours ranging from cafĂ© au lait, to baby blue and deep red. Not that Louis Vuitton limits itself purely to luggage these days. The fashion collection is every bit as exclusive and stylish as the travel accessories and features green lamb-leather jackets, fitted beige trousers and wide-lapel cotton shirts for men, and tight, black drill jackets, flowing, embroidered skirts and pastel, patterned, low-back dresses for women.
