Is excess, the antithesis of sustainability? I do believe it is. This hi-tech trunk commissioned from Louis Vuitton by an unknown Chinese mega-millionaire turns the concept of eco friendly upside down. Why anyone would even conceive of this monstrosity confounds me; (I know, it’s all about the dinero). This luxury suitcase contains an assortment of gadgets and unnecessary tripe like a TV, DVD player, coffee maker and a handy solar panel to keep it all percolating. Just the array of stuff you’ll need if your private jet should go down in the jungle or that third world country you’re visiting to exploit just doesn’t have enough juice out at the diamond mine. Plenty of storage for you fancy underoos and such.

Where can you get one ?
Since you tastes run to the expensive, maybe you have a personal shopper at LV who can hook you up.
I collect old trunks, including the old “steamer trunks” like the one shown. I tried to restore the interior but it was too badly damaged to make it valuable. I think this trunk-office is a great idea for my bedroom, since I have an alcove I want to put my office in but don’t want that to be a focal point of the room. Converting mine to an office would limit the possible office-spillover since I would need to keep it contained and would also allow me to display the trunk I am so found of. Is there a detailed plan to help me convert mine to this wonderful office? I am also excited about the solar power to run my computer but haven’t found a panel that cna handle the power needed; all I’m seen run Ipods, or smaller devices. Can you provide a resource for a panel that could supply enough power for my laptop and printer/fax?
Here’s a solar charger that works for computers and small devices. Nice clam shell design so it can travel with you. Haven’t tested it.
