Capucines by Beatriz Milhazes
Based on a work created exclusively for the Artycapucines Collection by Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes, the Capucines is a culmination of her unique artistic techniques and Louis Vuitton's sophisticated craftsmanship.


"Capucines" by Jean-Michel Othoniel
"Capucines," designed by French artist Jean-Michel Othoniel, is an object of ethereal joy. Crafted from intricately hand-woven raffia, the bag's upper edge is adorned with a hand-embroidered border in black satin silk, a luxurious material often used in haute couture.


"Capucines" by Josh Smith
"Capucines" by New York-based artist Josh Smith is based on his signature "name" paintings, in which he paints his own name.


"Capucines" by Henry Taylor
"Capucines," designed by California-born artist Henry Taylor, is a combination of cutting-edge laser printing and traditional marquetry techniques, adapted from his 2017 work "A young master."


"Capucines" by Liu Wei
Beijing-based artist Liu Wei is known for his provocative, defying work across a variety of mediums. His design, Capucines, is based on his large-scale installation Microworld, which was exhibited at the 2019 Venice Biennale.


Capucines by Zhao Zhao
Designed by Chinese artist Zhao Zhao, Capucines is inspired by his 2018 sculpture In Extremis No. 3.
