presenting
Treillis, part of Takashi Murakami's latest collaboration with Louis Vuitton - the Monogramouflage. my first and ONLY Murakami piece. after doing whacky flowers and cutesy cherries, they finally thought about the boys too. according to the French SA, "treillis" actually means combat/army pants. next to the bag is "Para-Kiti DOB", a lim. ed. print by the master of Superflat Pop Art:

the print was purchased in 2002. it coincidentally shows both camouflage and Damier patterns. i know there was initial resistance from a lot of LV lovers about this line, but i've always liked Monogramouflage especially the Treillis. although i thought i have convinced myself i can live without it. then when i finally saw it in real life i realized i couldn't. i was surprised that its twice as big as i thought. which is a good thing. my Ouvea Carryall (Feature Bag #3) can actually fit inside:

my brother wasn't impressed when i showed him photos of the bag initially, but when he saw it in real life he was an instant convert. one feature i like is the rigid base so it doesn't sag:

the black trim makes it more masculine and rugged:

and the interior pockets are very practical:
