ART MAJOR

Louis Vuitton marks the Chapter 5 of the ArtyCapucines Collection with five leading contemporary artists for this year’s reimagination of the Capucines bag.

Of the five collaborators, Chinese artist Wang Ziping’s playful spin is the smallest ArtyCapucines ever.

Affectionately nicknamed Sweet Tooth, the charming confection of leather patchwork and marquetry has a candy-canelike handle that matches the bag’s candy-shaped feet. An enamel gingerbread man wearing Monogram flower buttons graces the bag’s flap that imitates melting ice cream.

The interior is just as exciting, with a reverse print of the exterior and a removable printed mirror resembling a slice of caramel apple.

The icing on the cake? Two double-sided ‘sticky notes’ in leather with the artist’s drawings that can be affixed to the ArtyCapucines’ exterior with a red-capped sewing push pin attachment.

To be presented in specially designed boxes, all ArtyCapucines designs in this year’s collection are exclusively available in limited editions of 200.
