LOUIS Vuitton has launched a chocolate Easter egg – with a price tag of nearly £200.
The luxury fashion house teamed up with pastry chef Maxime Frédéric to create the edible version of their signature egg handbag.
The egg is made from 70 per cent dark chocolate and has a roasted hazelnut filling.
Carved with the brand’s monogram pattern and decorated with milk chocolate handles and zipper pulls, it could almost be mistaken for the real thing.
The limited-edition chocolate egg will set sweet-toothed fashion fans back £189.
But it’s just a fraction of the price of the original leather bag, which retailed at around £2,500.
Shoppers can also buy a set of six smaller eggs – with the Louis Vuitton logo – for £60.
The mix of dark and milk chocolate treats are filled with either a raspberry caramel and pistachio praline, creamy blue vanilla caramel and crispy buckwheat gianduja, or Tahitian vanilla caramel and hazelnut praline.
A smaller box of three eggs is also up for grabs for £34.
The chocolates are available exclusively at Louis Vuitton stores in Paris, Shanghai, Singapore and New York.
