At the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2020 show, creative director Nicolas Ghesquière introduced a variety of new styles based on Space Age themes, including a designer Canvas of the Future bag prototype equipped with two fully functional LED screens. The unique canvas screens of the bag are moldable and flexible, thanks to the same AMOLED technology that's being introduced in the latest smartphone designs.
The next-gen designer handbags from Louis Vuitton are said to bridge the gap between a smartphone and a "sac," all the while offering a stunning 1920 x 1440 resolution for viewing video content on the go.
Louis Vuitton's Canvas of the Future recalls the TV-embedded miniature trunk that Marc Jacobs carried down the runway at one of the brand's 2007 fashion shows.
