Louis Vuitton invited five leading contemporary artists for this year’s reimagination of the charismatic Capucines bag, exclusively available in limited editions of 200.

Affectionately nicknamed Sweet Tooth, the charming confection of leather patchwork and marquetry has a candy cane-like handle that matches the bag’s candy-shaped feet.

The interior is just as exciting, with a reverse print of the exterior and a removable printed mirror resembling a slice of caramel apple.
