"The Loo-uis Vuitton Toilet" is made of 24 monogrammed bags including a $3,000 suitcase.

LA-based artist Ilma Gore has made a toilet out of $15,000 (£11,400) worth of Louis Vuitton bags — and it's now on sale for $100,000 (£76,244).

"The Loo-uis Vuitton Toilet" is a collaboration between online US designer retailer Tradesy and Gore.

Gore worked for three months, using 24 different bags valued at $15,000 total — including a $3,000 suitcase — to make the "fully functioning potty," according to the item's online listing.

The final product has been featured in the Californian Tradesy showroom — and it's now available to buy for $100,000. It will ship from Santa Monica, with delivery only available for buyers from Los Angeles.

As for why she did it? Gore posted her creation on Instagram with the caption: "I wondered what 15k of authentic @louisvuitton bags looked like as a fully functional toilet, so I made this."
