Holy Toledo!

Ruben-Toledo-100-Postcards-for-Louis-Vuitton-City-Guide Ruben Toledo 100 Postcards Collection By Louis Vuitton Gift givers... if you are wondering what to buy me for Christmas, this is it, baby!!! For $115 you can say you delivered some Louis Vuitton under the tree this year. 100 glorious postcards designed by Ruben Toledo.

Ruben says of the designs:

"My aim is to paint a portrait of a city and to draw out its special and eternal essence; to capture the unique tempo and character of each." - Ruben Toledo

Seriously, these are positively gorgeous. I don't think I'd ever send out a single card. These are far too pretty to part with, and I'm such a lover of travel that I'd find it difficult to say buh-bye to most of the exotic locales represented. In my world the Toledo 100 is the perfect storm: art & illustration, travel, paper goods and Louis Vuitton in one compact brown box. Ahhhhh.... What more could a Venti girl ask for? It's an amazing gift idea and perfectly timed for the holidays.  Although, if you want to tuck this inside of a lovely LV rolling suitcase as a surprise - that's perfectly fine with me.

What the beautiful people are saying...

Oh my gosh, these look gorgeous. I think I need them and I'm with you, I'd be framing them instead of sending them out -- not a DOUBT in my mind! xo

These cards have a wonderful graphic element to them that is very inspirational. Thanks for sharing!

its such a glorious postcards, I really glad on your great job dear, awesoem art work. and thanks for share it.

Finally opened the box yesterday. These are really amazing. And frankly with 100 of them I'll easily find many I won't keep. I plan to go through and choose a few to mat and frame - the rest will make beautiful change of address postcards to clients. Such a great value...

Something to say, gorgeous?
