When you think of chopsticks, you might picture the cheap, wooden pull-apart chopsticks that are consumed so quickly that the Chinese government has imposed a five percent tax on their export in order to combat deforestation. Who makes the world’s most expensive chopsticks, though?
The answer may surprise you.
French design conglomerate Louis Vuitton, known for their luxury handbags, wallets and other accessories, has created this set of elegant chopsticks for the discerning consumer of Asian cuisine. The Louis Vuitton VIP Chopsticks Set includes two pairs of finely carved, hand polished rosewood chopsticks sporting the LV monogram. The hinged presentation case is just as exquisite as the utensils themselves, with its plexiglas inset and monogrammed finish. Even the rest, that small block of wood intended to keep the business end of the chopsticks from touching the table, features the LV logo.
The most expensive chopsticks in the world are priced at $450. If you know of a more expensive pair of chopsticks, we’d love to hear it!
