Louis Vuitton’s latest whimsical piece allures its owner to stop and smell the roses, even when just on the block.
The ‘Flower Bouquet’, as it is called, first blossomed into the public eye at the late Virgil Abloh’s Fall/Winter 2022. With a single-handle monogram canvas bag as a ‘newspaper’ cone, it brings to mind a bouquet of local bodega flowers you clutch under your arm.
Meanwhile, the bag itself—embellished with gold-colored archival fixtures and designed with leather straps—has a zipped pocket to carry more than just blooms.
Some might appreciate that these flowers will never wilt. Priced at an eye-watering US$12,200, though, the floral carry-on may not pull everyone like bees to nectar.
