Comme Des Garçons x Louis Vuitton = Comme Des Vuitton

Cheyqua in Handbags, Industry News — July 18th, 2008

After collaborating with H&M, finally Rei Kawakubo collaborates with Louis Vuitton for “Louis Vuitton at Comme des Garçons” to launch monogram canvas bags with an edgy design à la Comme des Garçons. These limited bags will be sold only for three months starting from September to mid-December 2008.

Comme d’habitude*, Comme des Garçons tries to ’mess up’ with their die-hard fans by selling these limited bags only at the Louis Vuitton at Comme des Garçons store, which will be opened only for three months! And the worse thing is, there won’t be such thing as cash-and-carry to get the limited bag, because you’ll have to order right away at the Louis Vuitton at Comme des Garçons store. They’ll only receive orders on the spot, no telephone nor internet orders will be taken. After that, you’ll have to wait until they inform you to get “one of the six bags designed by Kawakubo in LV monogram pattern” at the chosen Louis Vuitton store (yes, you choose!), after several months of waiting!

So, all the Louis Vuitton and Comme des Garçons freaks, would you sacrifice to get this quirky bag? You still have at least two months to prepare and several months to wait for the delivery.

*Comme d'habitude: as always
