Every summer, Louis Vuitton gives us a little something different, and though there is technically no “summer” season in fashion, brands will sometimes release a little something extra for its fans. When it comes to Louis Vuitton, that something is usually a fun capsule that is separate from the brand’s more formal spring collection. These summer capsules usually rely on fan favorite bags that are given a cool seasonal makeover, and summer 2020 is no different.
Typically these bags are meant to entice shoppers to purchase a new carryall which will accompany them on summer adventures like a vacation or other warm weather activity, and though this summer looks a little bit different, Louis Vuitton still has something new for us to see. Like past collections, the Louis Vuitton Crafty gives some of the brand’s classic and most loved bags a makeover. Often these capsules involve the brand’s iconic Monogram with a fun twist, and last year the brand took its beloved logo print and gave it a giant makeover.
Now, for summer 2020, Louis Vuitton is capitalizing on its Monogram Giant print, which has become a fan favorite since its original release. Introducing: the Louis Vuitton Crafty Collection. For this capsule, Louis Vuitton has transformed its Monogram Giant canvas with vivid hues and bold graphic prints. The collection seamlessly blends Louis Vuitton’s storied craftsmanship with a pop art style, drawing inspiration from two artistic movements—graffiti art and neo-expressionism. During the 1980s these movements created new trends and established creative territories, including some of New York’s most iconic galleries and museums.
The LV Crafty Collection is a bold take on Louis Vuitton’s original Monogram canvas, revisiting the print and pairing Monogram Giant canvas with bright graphics. There are two versions presented in this collection: cream with warm caramel or bright red, and both feature the brand’s iconic LV Monogram print in black. Additionally, the collection features embossed leather bags like the Onthego and the Pochette Metis which are adorned with an oversized version of the iconic Monogram pattern and LV Crafty detailing. As for the LV Crafty print, it is seen on some of the house’s most beloved and iconic silhouettes such as the Neverfull, Speedy B, Onthego, NéoNoé and Boite Chapeau. Prices are of course elevated, and a Crafty NéoNoé MM will cost you $2,400, while a classic NéoNoé will set you back $1,780. Take a look at more images from the capsule below and shop now via Louis Vuitton.
I’m not a fan of Louis Vuitton. However, I could go for that Pouchette Métis. The oversized LVs and color combination are calling me. I like how bold and graphic it is.
To be honest, I’m more interested in the trench coat and the blouse in picture 3. I could also do the scarf to match the bag.
These are very Batik-print-looking, especially in the caramel color scheme, which I rather like partly b/c the Batik print partly “hides” the giant LV logo!
Thar’s what I thought when I saw this collection, it looks like batik sarong my mother used to wear with Kebaya I’m from Indonesia btw.
My first thought when I saw those big totes was: LV decided they had to have their own version of Dior’s popular Book tote. The LV totes are pretty although I’m not into supersized logos. And when I buy a premium designer bag, I want to feel that it won’t look dated (rather than iconic) five years down the road. Can’t see that with any of these bags.
It’s funny that I have no problem with the LV supersized logo on the On The Go tote. But when deciding whether to buy a second On The Go or a Dior Book Tote, I decided to buy the second LV. There’s something about the “Christian Dior” logo on the book tote that makes me a little uncomfortable. I’m not sure why.
The lines around the LV-logos reminds me of war face paintings.
African or native American!
That’s exactly what drew me to it. This is a departure for them. Still wouldn’t buy it because of racist incidents at their shops. When I buy cultural items, even if only inspired, it will be from people of the culture.
Fun that someone else saw the same thing! I agree with your last sentense, also, I am neither African American nor Native American (I am a white european) so I also feel kind of “wrong” wearing something inspired of these cultures, even through I personally have always thought that it is appreciative to wear something from another culture or country, but sice since seeing more and more people talk about CA I am worried that I’ll offend someone. I bought a Chloé Hudson many years ago that kind of gives me a bohemic “native american-vibe” and it’s never worn as I feel weird about it. I probably overthink it.
The Boite Chapeau is to die for! Well done, LV.
Not a fan of anything but the black and white On The Go tote. And I’m not really looking for a third On The Go.
It is gorgeous, but $4100.00 is too much for it.
One yr ago I made the decision to stop my earlier work and I am very pleased these days…. I began earning a living on the net, for an organization I uncovered online, for just a few hour everyday, and I generate a lot more than I did on my office job… previous thirty days was 9,000 bucks… The best thing regarding this is the more free time I obtained for my children…and that the only requirement for this gig is simple typing and also access to internet… I am in a position to put in quality time with my close relatives or buddies and also take care of my kids as well as going on family holiday with them really frequently. Don’t ignore this opportunity and make sure to act fast. Try it out, what it’s about… https://sni.to/57
getting major blair waldorf vibes from this collection. here for it.
I hate it. They’re garish.
I felt the same at first, but there was something that kept me wanting to look at them. They are garish, though!
This stuff Louis Vuitton creates should not cost over $500 – there should be a ban lol
Overpriced canvas bags. $3100 Australian for a NeverfullMM $4550 for the Pochette Métis boy I’d rather put my money on Chanel
Well, Coco actually assisted the Nazi party during the Holocaust
So I would never spend a dime on anything Chanel
Love them all. Fresh. Color. Prints.
Waiting patiently when the on the go tote comes out with a print design that does not have those big LV logo splattered across the middle of the bag. Im sure when that happens the bag price will be closer to 10,000.00.
Isn’t there an Empreinte version of the OnTheGo bag?
love the caramel
LOVE these!!! Sadly too expensive. In the current environment it’s essential spending only. ?
i finally find a cheaper LV CRAFTY NEVERFULL MM BAG by google searching shoeaddict.ru
they’re especially high for something so “of the moment”. Especially the all leather ones!
I think I will be sticking to the classic canvas… Want to get one so bad..
At first I hated these, now suddenly… they’re amazing. Getting the speedy. It’s really fun. And I have a lot of classic, serious bags. The twist is really pretty as well, and you can remove the charm if you get tired of it.
