As we all know, the problem with USB flash drives is they're not nearly gaudy enough. Here to solve that problem is a designer's mockup of a Louis Vuitton-branded concept made with gold and leather from ostriches or alligators; perhaps future versions will contain condor, bald eagle or blood diamonds. Tasteful decisions to include both a watchface and a chain-attached skeleton key to lock the cap round out the package. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go shoot myself in the face.
(Practical note to designers: when you attach the key to the lock, it tends to make the lock somewhat less effective.)

Could it be that this is a student's conceptual proposal and not an official LV product?
that is the funniest post i've seen all week. and oh my, yes, that drive is a tribute to tasteless american excess.
Blogging too fast mate.
Before putting the blame on LV, check your sources...
This is actually a concept project posted on Coroflot by a guy called Fred de Garilhe who used the LV brand because he thought it was cool, I guess, not a LV product.

As much as this concept sucks, you should post an erratum
this is a student project. I've seen it on coroflot. But it's like almost 50% of the product we see in magazines and on the web. They are virtual and not an order from any company. Thank you 3D renderings
Bling Blong, I think my pet chihuahua needs one for her credit card info.
Not to mention, how are you gonna plug that thing into a laptop. If it curves up when plugged in, it may be okay, but if it curves down, you're in trouble.
