The best part about The Darjeeling Limited is the luggage. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the story and the acting. But my god, the luggage! Caramel leather by Louis Vuitton painted with elephants, zebras, antelopes, tigers, giraffes, and palm trees; have you ever seen anything more desirable? When Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Jason Schwartzman left them in the dust, I was undone. I don’t care if they needed to drop their emotional baggage. Couldn’t they have had an epiphany and kept the suitcases?
Louis Vuitton is the master of stylish travel, with over 170 years under its belt, making trunks and cases to hold first-aid supplies, a bar cart (first aid of a different sort), a camp bed, desk, shower, Ernest Hemingway’s typewriter, and Houdini.
