Just saw this at Louis Vuitton the other day. The SKY TOUR collection, an accompanyment of the fall/winter 2014 men's precollection, consists of a few items. The biggest, the Sky Tour key holder, looks like a Concorde, made of palladium-plated brass. There is a small "L.V" signature on one of the wings. The smaller plane is part of a 2 piece set of brooches, aptly named, Sky Tour set of brooches (so original). The bigger piece is a palladium plated concorde brooch and the smaller, a black ruthenium-plated brass Victory sign. The last piece, a neck chain set, with small pendants, a propeller, something that looks like a hot air balloon and a propeller.
I have mixed feeling about the collection. The key holder and brooches are ok.. but bordering on meh. The chain on the other hand, is bad. The propeller pokes your skin. Masculine, definitely. Fashionable... maybe.. Lux, nope. Some how, the L.V engraving on the plane "wings" does not give them the "pop" the collection needs.
