But as long as it sells and the Vuitton fanbase is not revolting, Murakami must be doing something right. As about only online store, ELuxury sells the pictured Panda keychain for $140.

Each shoulder bag is carefully painted by hand, which ensures vibrant and lasting colors. I don’t think the picture does the Devi Kroell Diamond Python Roman true justice. The … Read more
