Some accessories junkies look at certain handbag designs and see faces, but this exhibit by British artist Billie Achilleos takes that phenomenon to a whole new level. Louis Vuitton commissioned several animal sculptures from her made entirely out of Louis Vuitton handbags and accessories to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Louis Vuitton SLG Savoir Faire collection. What Achilleos was able to do with leather goods is amazing (not to mention amazingly adorable), and we’ve got more pictures of her creatures, plus a video of the construction process, after the jump.

That’s creative but what a waste of good leather bags..
From the pictures, it looks like the vast majority of the material used was actually monogram or damier canvas. And the bags allocated for this were likely sample pieces retained by the corporation, so they weren’t in the retail chain to be sold to the public anyway. I’d rather see them turned into art than have them sit in a sample closet!
i agree! And love her creativity
that is phenomenal!! though i think some of those cles would look better with me then on the animals, lol!
Wow, she’s so creative, it’s amazing!
