Luggage

Saw the movie The Darjeeling Limited yesterday and the word luggage is what best summarizes it.
It is another one of Wes Anderson's strangely appealing movies in which the luggage, emotional as well as the actual physical one, plays a huge part. Wes Anderson had his brother Eric design the patterns for them and one of his friends, Marc Jacobs, design the actual set of suitcases, which I am sure will be iconic. Marc Jacobs (for Luis Vuitton) is also responisble for many of the costumes seen in the movie.
Considering how Lacoste got a push from Gwyneth Paltrows character Margot Tenenbaums wearing their dresses in Andersons movie The royal Tenenbaums, I can only assume that this free publicity will do nothing but good for Marc Jacobs. Both of them, director and designer are known for their kind of peculiar romantic and somewhat intellectual art which goes well together in the movie.
Should you have some extra money and time for a trip to N.Y. you can place a bid at some of the bags and other props from the movie at the Luis Vuitton store in One East 57th Street, New York, NY, 212-758-8877.
The proceeds go to Rawal Mallinathji Foundation and UNICEF.
