Louis Vuitton drops a limited edition book of illustrations by Ruben Toledo priced at whopping $9,000

Staying true to their origin as a luxury travel brand, Louis Vuitton has released an original edition of 30 portfolios of Ruben Toledo’s beautiful travel-inspired illustrations.

The brand has showcased travel books in the past, but this new offering is truly something special.

The collection of artwork, which include 15 drawings printed on pure cotton paper, comes with a monograph of the Cuban artist’s work for the Louis Vuitton City Guides between 2000 and 2012 and is presented in an elegant drawing box.

Destinations seen in this limited edition include Athens, China, Copenhagen, Courchevel, Hong Kong, India, Istanbul, Japan, Kyoto, Miami, Moscow, New York, Paris, Prague, San Francisco, Shanghai, Singapore and Tokyo.
