This is an incredibly rare and unique piece, with just 200 being produced by Louis Vuitton worldwide. The Arty Capucines is exclusively offered to top clients and is one of the most popular bags from each year’s collections.

First released in 2021, Huang Yuxing based this upon a specially created version of his painting The Colossus Hidden Deep in the Hills. The outline of the image’s stylised landscape was first printed onto white-grey leather and then embroidered with green thread to add perspective, while rainbow-like mountains of tufting-stich embroidery were added for additional texture and movement. Accidental paint drips are reproduced and highlighted in blue pearls. Huang’s bag, with its enamel LV logo, is a smaller-sized BB Capucines better suited to his work’s delicate balance of colours.

Not only is this an absolutely stunning bag, it is also a piece of art at the very same time!
