First introduced to the fashion world in 2013, Capucines quickly became one of the favorite handbag designs of the Louis Vuitton brand.
Following the success of the previous two seasons, Louis Vuitton recently continued to launch the third part of the Artycapucines project in collaboration with six famous names in the contemporary art community: Gregor Hildebrandt, Donna Huanca,
Gregor Hildebrandt used his love of music and special interest in vinyl records, video tapes, etc. as inspiration to create Hildebrant’s Capucines bag.
In contrast to the minimalism of Gregor Hildebrandt, Zeng Fanzhi brings to the Capucines bag a world of vibrant colors combining traditional Chinese and Western quintessence.
Inspired by the interaction with a woman’s body, Huanca’s Capucines was created based on the female artist’s two paintings Cara de Fuego and MuyalJol.

Louis Vuitton – 200 years of creative inspiration and innovative spirit
If Huanca’s design is known for its strong color ranges, Muniz’s Capucines is cheerful and captivating with its arbitrary distributed structure and brilliant trompe-l’œil effect.
Paola Pivi is known for her works that use familiar images from life in a challenging way and force viewers to reconsider their own worldview.
Huang’s Capucines is a special remake of his 2019 painting The Colossus Hidden Deep in the Hills.
According to information from Louis Vuitton, Capucines designs in the Artycapucines 03 project will be sold in stores worldwide in limited quantities of 200 pieces per model by the end of October 2021.
