Louis Vuitton, the epitome of luxury, unveiled a sonic masterpiece earlier this year the Horizon Light Up Earphones. These marvels of audio engineering boast an impressive 28-hour battery life and cutting-edge hybrid active noise reduction technology. However, what truly resonates with enthusiasts is the jaw-dropping price tag: a princely $1,660 (approximately ₹1.3 lakh).
The French luxury brand took to Instagram, describing the earphones as providing “a unique audio experience” and showcasing a captivating video that has since gone viral, amassing over 11.6 million views and a multitude of likes and comments.
Crafted from lightweight aluminum, the earphones exude opulence with a layer of polished sapphire glass overlaying a Monogram flower. Available in five distinct colors— red, black, golden, silver, and blue to violet gradients— the product is not just an auditory delight but also a visual spectacle.
The charging case, inspired by the elegantly curved Tambour watch, adds another layer of sophistication. Boasting LED backlights, it performs an electric dance, displaying a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of gradient colors while indicating battery levels.
The video, shared in March, offers a glimpse into the journey of Louis Vuitton’s third-generation earphones, which seamlessly integrate into the Maison’s ecosystem of high-end connected objects, marrying design, savoir-faire, and performance.
The Horizon Light Up Earphones are not just on-the-go companions; they are a statement piece. The lightweight travel case, designed for convenience, can be easily attached to a belt loop or bag, combining functionality with style.
Collaborating with leading audio experts globally, Louis Vuitton promises a unique audio experience, setting these earphones apart. The unparalleled design, precious in both feel and style, elevates them to a level of luxury unmatched in the audio world.
As part of the Maison’s collection, these earphones are available in timeless shades and striking hues, ensuring that they remain both a permanent fixture and coveted limited edition in the realm of luxury audio.
Louis Vuitton Unveils its Lavish Maison Experience
Louis Vuitton’s Maison collection is a comprehensive ensemble, encompassing ready-to-wear apparel, bags, small leather goods, shoes, watches, jewelry, fragrances, and an array of accessories. Within this expansive range lies the Objets Nomades collection, a curated selection of travel and home objects designed by renowned creators.
Echoing the essence of the Maison, the Louis Vuitton Spirit collection encapsulates vital concepts such as strength, liberty, and infinity. Noteworthy among these is the Bravery collection, a 90-piece tribute to the Maison’s founder meticulously crafted by Francesca Amfitheatrof, the artistic director for jewelry and watches at Louis Vuitton.
The heart of Louis Vuitton’s offerings finds its stage in the Maison Louis Vuitton Vendôme, an impressive 1,460 square meter space. Notably, the luggage room steals the spotlight with its towering 66-foot-high ceilings. Yet, beyond grandeur, the primary purpose of this space is to serve as a canvas for the brand’s diverse specialties. From luggage and ready-to-wear to jewelry, watchmaking, leather goods, shoes, perfumes, and accessories—every facet of Louis Vuitton’s savoir-faire is eloquently displayed in this authentic showcase.
Adding to the allure are two exclusive workshops. One, dedicated to fine jewelry, and the other, named “Rare & Exceptional,” caters to VIPs, allowing them to discover the latest pieces and tailor them to their personal tastes.
This return to its roots holds sentimental significance for the fashion house. In 1854, the visionary Louis Vuitton, renowned for creating the iconic travel trunk, inaugurated his first store in close proximity. A portrait of the illustrious founder, painted by Yan Pei Ming, adorns the walls, overseeing the audacious and inspired store—a testament to the brand’s enduring legacy.
