Please Note: This item does not come with a dust bag or box. Virgil Abloh can do it all. When he’s not dropping iconic sneakers or DJing shows across the world, the founder of Off-White finds the time to release key pieces from his first collection as Louis Vuitton’s new Men’s Artistic Director. These one-off October pop-up shops in London and Shanghai provide just a taste of what will come in his Spring Summer 2019 debut collection. The handbags and accessories are a union of luxury and street: staple items turn holographic, miniature trunks can be worn as purses, and duffle bags are even transparent. Still featuring the signature LV monogram, a splash of Virgil can’t go unnoticed in the collection’s orange chain accents. Although the pop-ups doors have closed, StockX can provide you with legendary items from Abloh’s first LV collection.
