French leather-goods house Louis Vuitton is making headlines this week for one of the accessories from its autumn/winter 2021 collection, shown in Paris in January and hitting stores now.
Men’s creative director Virgil Abloh, who is also the founder of fashion label Off-White, came up with a men’s purse in the shape of a plane that retails for US$39,000 (S$52,063).
For Louis Vuitton’s spring/summer 2021 show, unveiled in Shanghai last year, Abloh also had some fun with the brand’s signature monogrammed accessories, embellishing them with stuffed animals and plush toys.
