Nearly $20,000 USD of Louis Vuitton bags were cut, torn, reshaped and rearranged by artist Illma Gore to create the world’s most luxurious toilet. The fully-functioning throne has been painted gold, suiting its luxurious origins.
With every square inch, either covered in Louis leather or gold paint, describing the toilet as unique is an understatement. Everything from the bowl to the tank is fully lined in monogrammed leather. No sign of the bags’ hardware, but at least the toilet is ready to be used, right out of the box. LA-resale site Tradesy commissioned the piece from Gore, along with a few others.
Currently, the golden commode is available on Tradesy for an eye-watering $100,000 USD, nearly 5 times more expensive than the bags themselves. If that’s too rich for you, Gore has provided a $10,000 USD Gucci-decorated missile and an Abraham Lincoln bust also featuring the LV leather. If you’d rather scratch that Louis Vuitton itch by donating to a good cause, the label has donated a Supreme-collaboration Pudsey Bear to a charity auction.
At the recent Only Watch charity auction, someone became the proud owner of one of Tudor‘s most coveted watches — the Black Bay Bronze. It is now heralded as the most expensive Tudor watch of all time because of its selling price at CHF 350,000 (that’s $351,264.57 USD to be exact). An important thing to note, however, is that the timepiece sold for more than 75 times above its lower estimate of CHF 4,500 ($4516.26 USD).
Oddly enough, in 2015, a Tudor Black Bay One sold for 100 times above the lower estimate. Experts are pointing to the brand’s growing popularity as the main factor for soaring bidding prices. If you’re in the market for watches currently, check out this Bamford timepiece.
