louis vuitton city guides offer recommendations of city must see spots

Louis Vuitton doesn’t just carry your luggage; the fashion house also tells you where to take it. In the label’s newest collection of City Guides ($33 each), follow L.V. through 40 cities’ vintage boutiques and gourmet feasts, hidden gardens and ancient trattorias. For the 2012 edition, journalists and authors travel along the Pearl River Delta, visiting expansive casinos and novel galleries in Hong Kong and Macau, and introduce travelers to the unexpected luxuries of five new European cities, including Birmingham and Zagreb. Each softback booklet features the wisdom of a local legend and playful illustrations from Cuban artist Ruben Toledo. After spending the past 14 years inking the City Guides’ lush artwork, Toledo’s drawings are memorialized in a 100-postcard retrospective ($78) he describes as a “treasure box of memories” —and a perfect chronicle of your travels. louisvuitton.com.

Testimonials

  • “I can't thank you and your whole team enough for helping setting up the house for my friends. My friends were all very impressed and had a wonderful and comfortable time staying with us. Thanks so very much again. Wouldn't be able to pull it through without your help!” – L.Le, Elk Grove, California

  • “A very organized and disciplined speaker. Kerrie really knows how to give a presentation. It was obvious that she has been trained as a professional speaker. Which says a lot about her commitment to her profession. Kerrie knows her material and presented it well while interfacing with the participants. The other great thing about the presentation is that it had a “universal” appeal and did not seem to be selling one idea or product.” – M.Keathley, Dallas, Texas

  • “The house would never look this lovely if not for all your guidance. Every piece of furniture, every light fixture and every window treatment you helped me choose gives this house its charm. Once again thanks so much for making my home so special.” – A.Sisco, Lincoln, California
