A man splashed out £850 to travel to Paris to try a viral edible Louis Vuitton chocolate bag worth £225 - and says it was worth every bite.

Carmie Sellitto, 26, spotted the limited-edition treat on his Instagram explore page and became determined to be among the first to review it.

The designer dessert is part of a collaboration between Louis Vuitton and celebrated pastry chef Frédéric Bau and is only available in Paris, New York, Singapore and Shanghai.

Carmie had to fork out £500 to secure an appointment at Louis Vuitton's café in Paris, where the handmade dessert is exclusively sold.

He also bought last-minute Eurostar tickets to the French capital for £350.

Carmie, a content creator Shepherd's Bush, London: "I'd never seen anyone else film a video trying it, so I wanted to be the first. "

" It was absolutely worth the money."

"I enjoyed every single bite of it."

"I wouldn't be surprised if they sold it for £500 just because how unique it was."

The chocolate egg, weighing a hefty 1.5kg, came in a huge Louis Vuitton bag, which Carmie carried across Paris and back to London with extreme care.

Carmie said: "Carrying it back gave me so much anxiety."

"I was so on edge the whole way home. "

"If it broke before I could film it, all that effort would've been for nothing."

Carmie, who is known for trying pricey and viral luxury food, said the chocolate exceeded expectations – both in taste and detail.

He said: "There was a zip design on it and when you ran your finger over it, it felt like you could actually unzip it. "

"You could even feel the Louis Vuitton logo with your tongue. "

"The chocolate had a hazelnut praline filling and the shell had the most satisfying crunch. "

"It might've been the placebo effect from how much I spent but it genuinely was one of the best chocolates I've ever had."

While the chocolate bag itself cost £225, Carmie ended up spending nearly four times that amount between the booking fee and travel costs.

He said: "When I told the Louis Vuitton staff I came from London just for the chocolate and they looked at me like I was crazy. "

"But after the video went live, they actually reached out and thanked me."

"It was really sweet."
