Pharrell Williams has taken luxury to new heights by reimagining Louis Vuitton’s iconic hard-sided case into a high-end doghouse, aptly named the Kennel Trunk.
Designed for pet owners who spare no expense in pampering their furry friends, this opulent creation merges the legendary craftsmanship of Louis Vuitton with Pharrell’s boundary-pushing creativity.
The Kennel Trunk isn’t just a pet accessory—it’s a statement piece. Constructed with Louis Vuitton’s signature monogram-coated canvas, cowhide leather trim, and Vuittonite lining, the doghouse boasts meticulous detailing. Gold-toned hardware outlines its edges and forms the structure of the windows, adding a layer of unmatched sophistication. Designed with functionality in mind, the Kennel Trunk features a removable door and a hidden hatch at the base for convenient cleaning, while the metallic name card holder offers hot stamping and painting options for personalization.
The doghouse is crafted to mimic a traditional home, complete with a roof and windows, but with a modern twist that screams luxury. It encapsulates Pharrell’s vision of fusing everyday essentials with high fashion, creating a piece that blends practicality and prestige.
This extraordinary creation is the latest project in Pharrell’s partnership with Louis Vuitton, which began when he was appointed as the creative director of menswear earlier this year. Known for his innovative approach, Pharrell has been at the forefront of transforming the brand’s offerings, adding fresh energy and unconventional concepts.
The Kennel Trunk also reflects Louis Vuitton’s legacy of designing custom trunks for a variety of purposes. Over the years, the luxury house has created bespoke travel trunks, tea sets, and even gaming cases for affluent clients. The Kennel Trunk is another bold addition to this tradition, marrying Louis Vuitton’s heritage with Pharrell’s contemporary flair.
Priced at $60,000, the Louis Vuitton Kennel Trunk is available exclusively through Concierge Services, making it a truly unique offering for luxury enthusiasts and pet lovers alike. This doghouse isn’t just a home—it’s a lifestyle.
