Infiniti, Nissan’s re-badged luxury brand, has announced its collaboration with Louis Vuitton for the creation of a bespoke set of luggage for a concept car to be revealed at the 2009 International Geneva Motor Show next month.

The dramatic concept will be a celebration of Infiniti and its 20 years history as a creator of performance cars. But equally it will be an inspiring exploration into the brand’s future.

For Louis Vuitton, this collaboration is the latest in a long heritage of designing custom luggage for special automobiles.

In the lead up to the conceptĆ¢ā‚¬ā„¢s unveiling, Infiniti design boss Shiro Nakamura was invited to one of the luxury labelĆ¢ā‚¬ā„¢s stores in Roppongi, Tokyo, where he was presented with one of the pieces from the luggage set.

This partnership is the latest in a line of luxury label collaborations with car marques, including Hermes and Bugatti, Versace and Lamborghini, and Dunhill and Bentley.
