Sybaritic Single Shows Self Sufficiency
Summer in Dubai is humid and boiling, however there’s nothing a silver champagne bucket can’t fix.
As the Sybaritic Single pulls up to Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, his three pieces of hard-sided Vuitton luggage are carefully placed on a trolley. 40 minutes later, he is still waiting to be reunited with his bags in the suite. Desperate for a sip, he pops a bottle of Louis Roederer from the minibar knowing that his own stock of Dom Pérignon would arrive any moment.
A gentle knock on the door and three men appear in the suite along with the trolley. But instead of bringing the baggage in, they start questioning the Sybaritic Single about the contents of one of the trunks.
“Pressure cookers are strictly prohibited in the hotel!” announces one of the men pointing at the trunk.
The Sybaritic Single replies there’s little chance he’d be travelling with one before another men instructs him to open the hand-painted trunk on the spot.
Champagne in hand, the Sybaritic Single turns the key and reveals interior splendours of his baggage: a silver champagne bucket, two Baccarat flutes and a tin of Petrossian beluga caviar.
- May we take a picture to share with the management?
- By all means, please go ahead.
A few minutes later the champagne trunk is cleared to be kept in the suite and the Sybaritic Single rushes to get some better bubbles chilled.
While some Vuitton executives might feel annoyed that one of their top creations gets mistaken for a Chinese hot pot box, the Sybaritic Single truly enjoyed the grotesque comedy!
