This year, contemporary artists Billie Zangewa, Ewa Juszkiewicz, Liza Lou, Tursic & Mille, and Ziping Wang reimagined the iconic carryall.
For the past five years, Louis Vuitton has invited a select group of contemporary artists to put their spin on the Capucines bag, a timeless piece named for the Rue Neuve-des-Capucines, the Parisian street that was home to the brand’s first boutique. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that the sleek, rectangular silhouette resembles a blank canvas.
This year, the lineup is particularly strong and varied, with artists from around the globe working in myriad media—and introducing all sorts of playful surprises into their designs.South Africa-based Malawian artist Billie Zangewa scanned and printed a portrait of her son onto the bag’s exterior, adding texture and depth through hand stitching and embroidery.
Liza Lou, the American sculptor known for her beaded assemblages, rendered one of her soothing Cloud Paintings in a soft leather wrap that drapes around the outside of the bag, leaving its core shape untouched while adding extra storage space.Tursic & Mille, a duo of French-Serbian artistic partners, reimagined the bag in an abstracted flower shape with a handle made from charred cedar and applied one of their retro-evocative paintings to the front.
Chinese artist Ziping Wang, who refers to her minuscule creation as “Sweet Tooth,” embellished the smallest Artycapucines yet with leather marquetry and enamel details inspired by candy, fruit and flora. Like the finest works of art, there are only a handful available. Each bag has been produced in limited editions of 200—so if you’re considering adding one to your collection, the time to act is now.
