When you think of luxury leather goods, your mind jumps straight to Louis Vuitton. Sure, there's plenty of equally respectable brands out there, but there's something about Louis Vuitton that's elevated it to the next level. But whereas you're probably already well aware of its bags, wallets, and trunks, you might not be aware that it also make phone cases.
