Here's Everything You Need To Know About The Louis Vuitton Duffle Bag Jacket That's Going Viral
In fashion, during the age of social media, designers are always one garment, accessory, or collection away from debuting that got to have it piece bound to go viral on Instagram and Twitter. The latest designer spotted on our social feeds is Ari Serrano and his Louis Vuitton Duffle Bag Jacket. We first spotted the piece of outerwear on Twitter. In the 13-second video, the designer is seen on the streets of New York City holding the top handles of a Louis Vuitton Duffle Bag until he let's one of them go and shows that the duffle is a leather jacket.
Ari Serrano created the multi-monogrammed panel leather jacket with leather from a Louis Vuitton Duffle Bag and Backpack. Tonal leather that matches the monogram print on the lace up-sleeves and side panels connects the duffle bag front to the bookbag back of the jacket to complete this Dapper Dan reminiscent garment. The now sold out jacket retailed for $1,500 on ariserrano.com.
Designer Air Serrano has designed several different pieces using repurposed classic Louis Vuitton monogrammed leather. Along with the leather jacket above, the designer's catalog includes a reworked denim jacket, air freshener, skateboard bag, and a two-piece tracksuit with the brown LV logo. While we must note these pieces aren't authentic Louis Vuitton garments, these forward-thinking custom pieces from young designers continue to impact our culture's relationships with luxury fashion.
