  • PETANQUE – WITH LOUIS VUITTON

    09 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham in Fashion, Luxury, Sport

    It’s no secret that I am a petanque (or “boules”) champion in the Provencial town of Menerbes – extending perhaps as far as Lacoste and, dare I say, Avignon. It is rumoured that Pierre Cardin wants to challenge me for the title, but that remains to be seen.

    Imagine my excitement when I clapped eyes on these babies.

    Bring it on, Pierre..

     

    This, from Luxuo:

     

    Louis Vuitton has honored the South of France’s defacto official sport, Pétanque by creating a limited-edition pétanque ball set.

    The Luxury collection was created in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the sport pétanque.

    The set includes a leather-encased set of nine monogrammed balls and a cochonnet, or jack.

    Awesome balls..

     

    The Louis Vuitton Pétanque balls are made of monogrammed canvas and are weighted to give the feel of a traditional metal pétanque balls.

    The pétanque balls come in a natural leather case which has space for a score sheet and pencil.

    The case has the discreet LV embossed on the lower corner, rolled leather handles and lined in a soft, beige alcantra lining.

    This game was made in 2007 and was never available to the general public by Louis Vuitton, only for VIP clients.

    Call it ridiculous. Call it what you want. It will never take away the fact that those balls are awesome. Can you imagine how amazing they feel and smell? Can you imagine cupping them in your hand?

    That, my friends, is what dreams are made of..
