The Louis Vuitton Kennel Trunk has been shown off by the brand under Pharrell Williams' direction as a converted take on one of its classic cases that will come as a welcome addition for dog owners.
The doghouse is constructed to look and feel just like a miniature house, complete with a roof, functional removable door, windows and even a hidden hatch at the bottom for easy cleaning. The unit reworks one of the brand's hard-sided travel cases into a work of art that's covered in the brand's recognizable monogram coated canvas with Vuittonite lining, cowhide leather trim and gold-toned hardware.
The Louis Vuitton Kennel Trunk can be purchased by contacting the brand's Concierge Services and is priced at $60,000.
