Louis Vuitton recently unveiled a limited edition capsule collectsion, in collaboration with Italian artist Piero Fornasetti, in time for its Fall Winter line. The collectsion is meant to be a crossroads between architecture, design, artistry and fashion. Applied on classic Louis Vuitton handbags like the Alma BB, On The Go and Capucines, the collectsion is very much architecturally focused. However, at first glance, I couldn’t help but draw comparisons to another familiar handbag adorned with crescent windows…
As is clearly seen, the design that is common between Vuitton’s handbags in this collectsion is Fornasetti’s arched window design. Almost immediately, my mind went straight to Hermès’ Faubourg Birkin. Despite the Faubourg being more animated in design than Vuitton’s realistic sketched windows, the similarity between the two is something I cannot unsee.
What do you think? Can you see the similarity between the bags in Vuitton’s collaboration with Fornasetti? How do you feel about the new capsule collectsion and is anything making it onto your wishlist? Be sure to share your thoughts!
