Louis Vuitton’s iconic logo print bags have cycled through some edgy collaborations (see: Stephen Sprouse, Takashi Murakami), restyling the aesthetics of legendary Louis bags. But to mark their 100th anniversary, the luxury goods leader collaborates with British artist Billie Achilleos for Maroquinaris Zoologicae--even at 100, it’s great to see that the brand is playful. 

Achilleos reimagines classic Louis Vuitton bags, wallets, and accoutrements as fashionable fauna, all with a function of reflecting design elements of Louis Vuitton in their inherent forms—Achilleos says, “The armadillo was to highlight the soft yet durable quality of the leather. The chameleon displays the variety of color.” Form, function, and fashion? If only these could escape from the zoo and into production.
