Louis Vuitton has come up with a version of the elegant Keepal duffel bag that you can drop in the ocean. This Keepall, created for the 2007 America's Cup, is identical to the original but is made from waterproof materials that are fused together by high-frequency welding. Again another product for those who wish to be one step ahead of the pack.
Implications - The bag is only completely waterproof when it is fully closed. You can fully submerge it into the water and it will be perfectly fine! The Louis Vuitton bag is a rich dark brown with the LV logo embossed all over and is a good size for people who are traveling.
