Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse hits stores
I am very interested in seeing Louis Vuitton ’s tribute to Stephen Sprouse bags from a collector’s standpoint. Marc Jacobs continues Sprouse’s vision to “deface” the iconic monogram with his two signature concepts, dayglo bright graffiti and the rose. I have to admit I prefer this “Tribute to Sprouse” collection over the CDC limited editions last year– mostly because I wore a ton of Sprouse inspired dayglo graffiti stuff when I was in junior high school and even copied his art work in my art class. I won’t be walking around with a hot pink graffiti bag now but I do love the roses. If you are a bag as art aficionado, the rose speedy would be perfect to display in your home or use daily.As part of Louis Vuitton’s commitment to Sprouse’s work, the house will also make a donation to the National Academy of Design - Stephen Sprouse Scholarship Fund to mark the launch of the collection. This will make up for the fact that the bags will go for a very pretty penny. Check out Louis Vuitton here or call your local SA to get on the wait list.
So tell me, will you be getting your hands on one of these? (Jump for pricing!)
