Six modern artists refashion the Louis Vuitton Capucines bag in the third chapter of Artycapucines Collection.

<a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/art/louis-200-join-vivienne-to-explore-the-magical-mobile-world-of-louis-the-game">Louis Vuitton</a> is taking the golden combination of fine art and luxury&nbsp;to new heights.

The third chapter of Louis Vuitton&rsquo;s limited-edition, artist-designed Artycapucines Collection sees six cutting-edge contemporary artists from all corners of the globe &mdash; Gregor Hildebrandt, Donna Huanca, Huang Yuxing, Vik Muniz, Paola Pivi and Zeng Fanzhi &mdash; lending their unique visions to the iconic Louis Vuitton <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/fashion/the-lv-capucines-bag-never-looked-better-until-cruella-rocks-it">Capucines&nbsp;bag</a> named after Rue Neuve-des-Capucines, the Parisian street on which Louis Vuitton opened his first store in 1854.

The result is a perfect blend of beauty and creativity courtesy of the artists&rsquo; talent, fused with the ingenuity and absolute craftsmanship of the House&rsquo;s skilled artisans &mdash; turning the <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/fashion/the-lv-capucines-bag-never-looked-better-until-cruella-rocks-it">Capucines </a>into beautiful, distinct entities, whilst still celebrating the features which make it a true object of desire.

While Gregor Hildebrandt&rsquo;s monochrome design makes a striking impression with its screen-printed leather and LV signature inlaid with vinyl records, Donna Huanca&rsquo;s tactile iteration catches the eye with meticulous hand-painted embroidery and piercing rings.

Huang Yuxing&rsquo;s beautifully embroidered Capucines interpretation evokes a colourful and fantastical landscape; and Vik Muniz&rsquo;s characteristically joyful design is enhanced with effervescent trompe l&rsquo;oeil effects and a playful aesthetic.

Crafted using complex leather marquetry and rich gold-leaf gilding, Paola Pivi&rsquo;s creation pays tribute to the art of craft; followed by fellow artist Zeng Fanzhi&rsquo;s reinterpretation of a Van Gogh self-portrait, now brought to life with over 700,000 remarkably worked embroidery stitches.

By rendering the accessory in their own unique style, these international visionaries have made each bag not only a piece of art, but an outstanding product of savoir-faire too.

After all, who needs expensive frames when you can just be your own walking canvas?
