It's not the lightest picnic accessory you'll ever carry—but then again, if you can afford the $45,000 asking price for a Krug champagne trunk, chances are you'll also have legions of staff to lug it around for you. Created by the 160-year-old champagne house in collaboration with bespoke luxury-luggage makers Pinel & Pinel, the limited-edition calfskin trunks (only 30 have been produced) are each the fruit of 700 hours labor and can be customized with a buyer's name or logo. Champagne flutes, an ice bucket, cashmere throws and an array of other little knickknacks without which no gathering is complete—including truffle graters, mother-of-pearl caviar spoons and a Dunhill cigar cutter—are supplied. Krug will even throw in three bottles of its Grand Cuvée to help get the party started—and with a trunk like this, how could one fail to make an entrance? It certainly beats showing up with half a dozen cans of beer in a plastic supermarket bag.
