The Ailleurs, Louis Vuitton’s 2011 Beach Collection

Ailleurs… Somewhere else… Louis Vuitton presents a poetic evocation of summer – the season when, footloose and fancy-free, we dream of distant destinations and exotic sensations. And all it takes to spirit us away is a splash of vibrant colour on the perfect accessory.Promenade conjures up the glamour of the Riviera, of leisurely strolls and intriguing encounters in the shade of tall palm trees. Escale captures the eternal allure of white sand, blue sea and lazy hours spent reading under a brightly coloured beach umbrella. Aventure illustrates the distinctly more exotic appeal of a tropical forest, where monkeys swing playfully amid luxuriant foliage.
