In addition to one of a kind backgammon set, Louis Vuitton had produced two special cases to contain Karl Lagerfeld collection of iPods, a singular trunk with a shock absorber, designed to carry a birthday cake to a party (a common Japanese custom), and a travel bag for a Saudi prince's hookah. The fashion house refused to produce a funeral casket for a customer, using the excuse that the request had nothing to do with travel.
These custom orders are handled on Louis Vuitton workshop in one of Paris suburbs. The special customers are kept constantly updated with the materialization process of their dream. They are also welcomed to take an active part in knocking the last nail ceremony. The second floor of the workshop serves as a private museum, displaying historic items, such as the trunk bed made for an Italian voyager for his first visit to Africa.
Founded in the 19th century by Louis Vuitton Malletier, Louis Vuitton workshop maintains its traditional crafts work. The first step in the creation of every capricious custom ordered bag is the construction of the poplar wood frame, continues with the gluing of layers of stitched cotton canvas that make the hinges, then carefully covering the structure with the canvas with the renowned golden and browned LV, logo, and so on, until finally assembling the recognized brass lock, the same one invented by Louis Vuitton son, Georges, back in 1890.
