Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami Speedy 20 Handbag
Speedy Series
This Speedy 20 handbag is from the limited edition collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Japanese artist Takashi Murakami . The new work cleverly combines Murakami's most representative smiling sunflower and Louis Vuitton's classic Monogram elements. The cheerful and lively floral pattern injects a romantic spring atmosphere into the bag.
Japanese artist Takashi Murakami was born in Tokyo in 1962. He is good at integrating traditional Japanese art, science fiction, animation and cute characters full of whimsy to create repetitive patterns, showing a clever fusion of pop culture, history and art.
This is the first time Louis Vuitton has collaborated with Takashi Murakami again in 20 years. In 2002, Marc Jacobs, then artistic director of Louis Vuitton, first encountered Murakami's works in Paris and was attracted by his rich colors and "super flat" two-dimensional painting style. He gladly invited the latter to collaborate. This collaboration also opened a new era of fashion crossing over art and culture, and the impact covered the entire mainstream culture of the early 2000s.
This Speedy 20 handbag cleverly combines Murakami's most representative "Smiling Flower" with LV's iconic Monogram floral elements - the colorful sunflower is transformed into a four-petal flower shape and integrated with an anthropomorphic smiling expression, and is rendered in red, blue, white, green, yellow, orange, pink and other colorful colors through silk-screen printing technology. The cheerful and lively floral prints are particularly suitable for the spring flower-viewing season.
Murakami Takashi's smiling sunflower was created in the 1990s . It is loved by the fashion industry for its cute expression and bright colors. It is still one of the most popular trend elements. In fact, the design of the smiling face flower has a deeper meaning. It contains Murakami Takashi's message to the victims of the nuclear explosion in World War II - even if you are in pain, don't forget to smile and be brave . If you look closely, you will find that every smiling sunflower actually has tears in its eyes.
The bag is made of classic Monogram coated canvas , and the printed pattern stretches naturally from the bottom of the bag upwards, like flowers blooming freely in a garden, full of vitality and vitality. Relying on advanced digital printing technology, the printing effect of each piece has been upgraded and renewed, with brighter colors and clearer and more accurate patterns.
The small and exquisite Speedy 20 handbag and the naughty smiley face floral pattern complement each other. The 20.5×13.5×12cm bag condenses the Speedy's iconic three-dimensional configuration, zipper closure and Toron handle design, making it playful and lively when carried in the hand.
Louis Vuitton's classic Speedy travel bag was born in 1930 and was designed by Gaston-Louis Vuitton , the third-generation heir of the brand . It was originally named the "Express" travel bag, inspired by people's fascination with speed and cars at the time. The bag is based on the Keepall travel bag and adopts a smaller and more daily handbag specification. It can be flattened and stored in a suitcase.
In 1959, the Speedy handbag reappeared in Monogram canvas material, attracting celebrities such as Audrey Hepburn to "bring goods". In 1965, Louis Vuitton tailored a smaller Speedy 25 handbag for Hepburn to set off her petite figure. With its classic appearance, practical attributes and affordable price, Speedy has always been one of Louis Vuitton's most classic and best-selling it bags for nearly a century.
The bag is equipped with a detachable and adjustable leather chain shoulder strap , which can be carried by hand, on one shoulder or across the body. The delicate chain ring design adds a smart atmosphere to the bag. The Louis Vuitton logo is finely engraved on the hardware accessories, and each part is made with ingenuity.
As a mini bag, Speedy 20 can easily store regular-sized smartphones such as iPhone Pro. The 12 cm wide bag is also more than enough to store thicker notebooks, folding umbrellas, tissues and other items, which is enough to meet daily travel needs.
