Luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton recently unveiled its new 'Damier Graphite Alpes' collection. The range is comprised of premium leather pieces, ready-to-wear goods and a selection of accessories. The highlighting design element of the series is the patchwork that adorns the capsule. The incorporation of patches draws inspiration from their original use as a souvenir. This is a tradition that dates back to the 19th century when the fashion house began decorating its signature trunks in hotel stickers.
The patchwork in the new Damier Graphite Alpes collection recalls the scenic mountains in the Alps -- it is seen in the form of embroidery, tufted patching and embossed leather. The expansive capsule is comprised of key rings, sleeping bags, outerwear, pants, tees, sweaters, scarves, hats, eyewear, belts, wallets, luggage, jewelry and more.
