Louis Vuitton unveils face shield that doubles as a cap
French fashion house Louis Vuitton has designed a coronavirus face shield featuring its signature LV monogram, which can also be flipped up and used as a sun visor.
The piece of personal protective equipment (PPE), called the LV Shield, comprises a visor made from a plastic-like material with fabric trim and an elasticated strap designed to fit snugly around the wearer's head.
Golden studs engraved with the company name enable the wearer to tilt the visor upwards, turning it from a face shield into a peaked cap.
Louis Vuitton has created a face shield that can also be used as a sun cap.
As the visor is made from a photochromatic material, which is sensitive to light, it darkens in response to direct sunlight, changing from clear to tinted to protect the wearer from mild sun glare. Both the trim and the head strap are printed with the company's signature LV monogram in its classic brown and gold colourway.
"The LV Shield makes for an eye-catching headpiece, both stylish and protective," said the company.
"[It] seamlessly transitions from dawn to dusk, adding a discreet yet sophisticated touch to one's personal protection."
The LV Shield will be available to purchase from 30 October 2020 in selected Louis Vuitton stores worldwide.
While the brand hasn't yet given the protective visor a definitive price, an estimated cost could be around £700 ? judging by the only other visor-style product in its range, the Strawgram Visor, which costs £705.
