Louis Vuitton & Sotheby's Charity Auction: Artycapucines Bags

Since its debut in 2013, the Louis Vuitton Capucines bag has become an emblem of timeless elegance, evolving through myriad interpretations each season. Named after Rue des Capucines, the Parisian street where Louis Vuitton opened its first store, the Capucines seamlessly blends classic femininity with a modern edge.

Artycapucines: A Fusion of Art and Craft

Elevating the Capucines to new artistic heights, Louis Vuitton launched the Artycapucines collection, a seasonal capsule inviting visionary artists from across the globe to reimagine the iconic bag in limited-edition forms. This year, the collection takes on a philanthropic dimension through a unique collaboration with Sotheby's, the renowned art and luxury auction house.

The Auction: Giving Back Through Art

From June 28 through July 12, a dedicated auction will showcase 22 extraordinary Artycapucines bags, each a singular creation blending Louis Vuitton's exceptional savoir-faire with the artist's distinctive vision. These ultra-limited editions are individually signed and crafted with the same premium materials and meticulous attention to detail as the original series, presented in a signature Monogram Boîte Chapeau.

A Legacy of Artistic Collaboration

The Artycapucines initiative, first introduced in 2019, continues Louis Vuitton's long-standing relationship with the arts, a tradition that traces back nearly a century to Gaston-Louis Vuitton's commissioning of artists for window displays and boutique decor. This auction marks a milestone for Sotheby's Handbags & Accessories department, aligning with its commitment to champion emerging and independent talents. Proceeds will benefit a diverse range of charities. Explore the collection and place your bid now via Sotheby's.
