The Cargo collection is the very embodiement of the Louis Vuitton leatherwork savoir-faire, encased in the leather of the Alligator Mississipiensis, a remarkable combination of elegance and technicity. The pen is named Cargo because it is designed to be carried during travel. The two metal bits protruding on the other end of the section is supposed to lock and prevent ink from spilling. The torpedo-shaped and alligator-covered Louis Vuitton Cargo fountain pens are quite lovely pens and very unknown in the fountain pen world (the pens are only available at certain LV stores. Not even all of them. Primarily Paris, Tokyo and the New York flagship stores). A singularly elegant design and tobacco-brown alligator covering make the Cargo fountain pen a truly precious object, irresistible temptation to anyone. The pen is 5 and 7/8" long and has the original Louis Vuitton 750 yellow gold medium nib and accents. The body of the pen is beautiful brown alligator, fat and heavy, a super rare collectors item. Presentation box, converter included. Serial nr. 5865.
