Holy Toledo!
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.

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

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...
