Following up the launch of its [leather collection featuring hard luggage](http://www.flaunt.com/content/louis-vuitton-taigarama), [Louis Vuitton](https://www.louisvuitton.com) has enlisted the multi-faceted designer [Marc Newson](https://www.instagram.com/realmarcnewson/?hl=en) to design the second range of modern rolling luggage. Paying less attention to rigid lines and strict parameters, the outer-shell is crafted from thermo-formed 3D knit, featuring a double-sided jacquard and Newson’s take on the classic LV Monogram. “I had to identify a suitable technology to give the project validity, I had to have a reason, something really compelling to kick the project off. That was to be the technology, which was not so much a technology, more of a process or a technique, a process that I was aware of through various other projects that I had been doing and essentially it’s knitting,” said Newson. The essence of this collection is to ensure a modern look while convenient and lightweight for travel. The innovation of the custom designed collection further extends with the TSA approved ergonomic aluminum 3-digit combination lock system, operable with one hand, and near silent miniature wheels. Luxury has never melted so effortlessly into functional as it has in this [collection](https://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/stories/spirit-of-travel-women-the-new-rolling-luggage#), launching Friday, March 29. * * * Photos courtesy of Louis Vuitton
