Sofia Coppola’s collection for luxury giant Louis Vuitton is finally hitting the web. The collaboration will be celebrated this Friday nightat Château Restaurant Joël Robuchon in Tokyo.
“To start with I wanted to make a bag for myself and then we talked about making a little capsule collection,” she told WWD. “My friends and I are always searching for the perfect day bag. It fits all your things but isn’t too big and isn’t too heavy.”
Sofia’s choice was to go for practical rather than over the top, “I wanted a bag that I could use every day that was coming from the heritage of Louis Vuitton’s great leather goods, not connected to the fashion side of the brand,” Coppola said, “We went through a lot of prototypes but it was fun. It was always exciting to get a new one and I would try them out and add things.”
The SC Bag, comes in four versions: one in dark gray suede, two in calf leather in dark blue and burgundy and one in LV’s signature monogram canvas.
Expect Sofia’s perfect little baggies and shoes to hit stores in March.
Thanks to WWD for picking up the story.
