Liya Kebede is Louis Vuitton’s Latest Muse for Capucines
Dynamic and ever-changing, Louis Vuitton’s Capucines collection makes an impressive return with a slew of elegant styles for the season.
Wandering around the beautiful streets of Paris while embodying Louis Vuitton’s latest Capucines bags is none other than Ethiopian model and activist, Liya Kebede, starring alongside her daughter Raee in a special campaign for the house.
In homage to one of the Maison’s most storied bags, the Capucines is a nod to the street where Louis Vuitton inaugurated its very first boutique. With Kebede taking lead in Paris, the house follows her as she embarks on a journey to tell the story of this emblematic creation. Boasting the elegant and cosmopolitan Parisian style, Kebede carries several iconic renditions of the Capucines as she tours the city’s enduring landmarks and monuments.
Bringing the Maison’s creativity and savoir-faire to the fore, these versions highlight the bag’s heritage and signature LV closure. Continually reimagined in refreshing colour ways and finishes, the house unveils a unique iteration designed for vibrant and varied night outs.
Introducing the Capucines Metallic in BB size, a luminous canvas enriched with an iridescent effect, offering a captivating play of light with the pearly pink undertones. Attention-grabbing and enchanting, the gleaming hues reflect the dazzling sparkles of this season’s chicest looks in a radiant fashion. Taking on a similar spirit, a second variation features hand-made braiding of the same metallic leather, elegantly highlighting the handle and the strap.
Making a statement this season with a whimsical touch, Raee wears the Capucines Mini in bright fuchsia Merino wool as she cruises by Paris’ iconic Bouquinistes on her skateboard. There’s nothing like this playful and vibrant creation in all its femininity and mischievousness to instantly update your look. If you are one for minimal and timeless styles, an essential black model blended with greige, or a delicate grey and soft greige version is a definite must-have this season for an elegant and refined allure. From Los Angeles to Paris, the Louis Vuitton Capucines bag continues to weave a story of style.
