With personal protective equipment becoming so
important in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, luxury brands are
eager to get a piece of the pie. Luxury goods powerhouse Louis Vuitton
has just announced a $1,000 face shield that doubles as a sun visor.
The LV Shield consists of a visor made from a plastic-like material,
fabric trim featuring the company’s signature LV monogram, an
elasticated strap and golden studs engraved with the Louis Vuitton name
that enable users to flip the visor upwards and downwards, thus
alternating between a face shield and a peaked cap. The visor is made
from a photochromatic material that changes from perfectly transparent
to tinted when exposed to direct sunlight. And you can probably have it
for just $1,000 or so.

“The LV Shield makes for an eye-catching headpiece, both stylish and
protective,” the Louis Vuitton description reads. “It seamlessly
transitions from dawn to dusk, adding a discreet yet sophisticated touch
to one’s personal protection.”
The stylish LV Shield will be available to purchase from 30 October 2020
in various Louis Vuitton stores around the world. While the price hasn’t
been officially announced yet, several outlets have estimated the cost
to be around $1,000, based on the company’s only other visor-style
product, the Strawgram Visor. |
