LV is ugly though the last thing i need is thier hidious logo leather in my car

I am talking classy like the matching luggage available for ferrari

I have been talking with trunks of hasselmere in the UK but they want to measure the trunk space of my car before starting and I live in the US so it is kind of cost prohibitive to ship two vehicles over there just to have thier trunkspace measured and thier price of $2000.00 per case seemed a touch high I was thinking about half that.

hahahah true true. I swore Hartman or Mullburry did custom stuff, but cant remember. If the LV price doesnt scare you then why not look at Goyard. Just as good quality but no one has it, and the pattern is very diff. (I like it, but some dont).

The only other thing I could think would be get a set you like, and have a local leather shop customize it to fit. Post pics if you do get this accomplished!

I found a custom luggage maker in NY I am going to start out with the smaller project (2-piece set for my SL55) and see how it looks then on to the 5-piece for my Maserati the nice thing is I can get this in the interior or exterior colormatched connolly leather I don't really need flashy I just want a very nice luggage set for my two favorite road cars
