It’s a freakin’ huge man-dresser, is what it is. Measuring 39″ x 29″ x 76″, this handmade trunk has a solid wood frame that’s enveloped by the finest distressed vintage cigar leather that’s been marinated in 5,000 year old Scotch. Okay that Scotch bit isn’t true, but it might as well be, because even the inside of the trunk is made to look antique, proto-steampunk, steamclassical if you will, filled with leather, oak slats and hand-hammered brass nailheads. As you can see, the trunk folds up and has wheels so it’s portable. Portable like an elephant is mobile, but still. Your butler can take care of it.

What’s important is that with this trunk, you’re always assured of a first-class workplace wherever you go. With this trunk, you can literally lug your entire office with you; just slam the thing shut and you’re done packing. With this trunk, you will never ever want to do anything else but work, leaning on the pull-down desktop, opening and closing its multitude of drawers and cubbies, lining its shelves with your masterfully scribed tomes. And since each trunk is handmade – no doubt by a level 85 Tauren druid with the leatherworking skill – you can be assured that the trunk that you get is one of a kind. This splendid waste of money epitome of craftsmanship is sold by the elegant folks of Restoration Hardware for $4,000 (USD). Chump change right?

The custom-made Taiga leather Vuitton case is lined with rich red microfiber, and carries an insane 20 iPods, along with a charging dock, a set of JBL Creature II satellite speakers and matching subwoofer. Now why you’d need to carry 20 iPods is anyone’s guess, especially since those look like models with plenty of hard disk-based storage. But then again, rumor has it that Lagerfeld has 100 iPods, and a full-time “iPod nanny” who manages his massive multi-terabyte music library.

Apparently LV will make custom cases for just about anything you can imagine, assuming you can spare tens of thousands of bucks and about half a year of your life (or longer) to wait for one to be created. Maybe you can finally get your pet elephant that trunk he’s been asking for.

Me, I’m getting one to hold my 100 Zunes.
