The 'Capucines' model from Louis Vuitton has been around since 2013 and its name is a reminder of the fashion house's first Parisian headquarters on Rue Neuves des Capucines. Since then, the model has achieved icon status. In 2019, the now annual 'Artycapucines' special editions of the classic were produced for the first time. As part of the project, international artists are asked to redesign the bags, of which a strictly limited number of 200 pieces are produced. The internationally renowned artist Josh Smith (1976, Okinawa, Japan) designed this impressive collector's item in 2020. Inspired by his characteristic "name" paintings, Smith has printed and embroidered his first name on the bag. The inner lining is printed with Palm #3, 2019, one of Smith's colorful paintings.
