In celebration of Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram canvas, Karl Lagerfeld imagined an extravagant set of luggage and accessories for devotees of the “sweet science.” His Boxing Trunk is fitted with a signature punching bag and stand, while a separate suitcase, also in Monogram, holds boxing gloves and a mat. With its capacious interior and removable shelving, the trunk can also serve as a chic travel closet.

Heritage details – leather corners, tags, embossing – combine with vintage cowhide trim and aged brass hardware for an exceptional collector’s piece that is both timeless and of-the-moment. The Punching Trunk is produced in a limited edition of 25.

THOROCRAFT 2015 Spring/Summer Collection

Since its inception in 2009, Californian-based THOROCRAFT has brought forth its own interpretive design language across some of footwear’s most iconic offerings.

For 2015′s spring/summer collection, the brand looks to the deserts of its native Californian as the collection’s inspirations over sneakers and lace-ups through both graphical notes as well as upper executions. While this is an early look, the collection will be available globally including the HYPEBEAST Store.
