Looking for a new porcelain throne? This toilet costs $100,000.
One artist has made a toilet some might say is truly worthy of being called a throne.
The Los Angeles artist behind a controversial nude portrait of then-Republican nominee Donald Trump has struck again, according to Fox 13.
Using $15,000 worth of Louis Vuitton bags, including a suitcase valued at $3,000, Illma Gore created a “fully functioning potty” called the “Loo-uis Vuitton Toilet,” the product information on designer resale site Tradesy says. All of the pieces were sourced from Tradesy. A total of 24 bags were used and it took her three months.
The artist told Good Morning America that she “got bored and started cutting up Louis Vuitton bags.”

The price tag on this work of art? $100,000.
It ships from Santa Monica, where it is on display in the Tradesy showroom, according to Vogue.
Gore told Vogue that the toilet has not been used yet – but many have offered to try it out.
