The Artycapucines collection is a unique series of Louis Vuitton handbags, crafted in collaboration with esteemed artists.

Utilising modern 3D digital printing technology, Juszkiewicz transferred her 2021 painting, Ginger Locks, onto calfskin. Moreover, the handbag features a delicate string of pearls for adornment and houses a leather envelope inside, reminiscent of 18th-century love letters.

This sartorial masterpiece was produced in a limited run of 200 pieces, with merely two available in Poland, making it a sought-after item beyond the reach of Louis Vuitton stores, thereby possessing both collector’s and investment appeal. The auction winner will not only acquire a distinct Artycapucines model but also gain the opportunity to meet the artist, Ewa Juszkiewicz, and discuss the “behind-the- scenes” of the collaboration with the luxury brand.
