French Louis Vuitton fashion house was laughed at on social media for releasing in sale of a kite, the price of which is 10.4 thousand dollars (about 780 thousand rubles). The discussions on Twitter and TikTok were noticed on the TMZ portal.
This is a luxurious “accessory” made of nylon in the brand’s trademark brown color and decorated with monograms with the Louis Vuitton logo. The toy is packed in a case made of the same material on a leather strap.
The product description on the official site says that it is intended for “outdoor enthusiasts”.
The described product became the subject of jokes on the Internet due to its high cost: for example, users compared it to the price of a seat in a business class aircraft. “You’d better send people to travel in business class for this money,” “I hope this thing doesn’t get stuck in a tree crown,” “Merry Christmas, if you have so much money to spend outdoors with Louis Vuitton,” they joked.
The website of the airline booking service Aviasales offers tickets for flights with a cost of approximately equal to the cost of the kite. For example, a business class ticket from Los Angeles to Melbourne, operated by American Airlines and Qantas on January 3, 2021, will cost 762 thousand rubles.
In November, Louis Vuitton presented mink sneakers for hundreds of thousands of rubles. Dreamy loafers made from natural fur are included in the brand’s Christmas collection. The cost of the pair on the brand’s website is 1580 pounds sterling (139 thousand rubles).
