For celebrating the launch of the Stephen Sprouse collection this week, Louis Vuitton creates limited edition skateboards. It also comes with a Louis Vuitton case. Cool!
¡°For instance, the company is wrapping the store in vinyl and spray painting neon graffiti all over the facade. The window display will feature a 6-foot neon light installation in Sprouse¡¯s Rose motif. The store¡¯s interior, enhanced with black brick wall facing, will also be sprayed with the neon graffiti.
The collection will launch in its entirety at the SoHo boutique on Thursday. The complete worldwide launch will follow on Feb. 2, though the Rose pieces will be available at Louis Vuitton stores worldwide starting Friday.
For the launch, the luxury goods company is also creating two limited edition pieces, which will only be available at the SoHo location: a Stephen Sprouse graffiti skateboard replete with a hard case monogram skateboard trunk, and a Stephen Sprouse ¡°Roses¡± T-shirt. The company hopes to sell three graffiti skateboards with trunks for $8,250 each, and 70 T-shirts for $250 each. ¡°I don¡¯t expect them to last very long,¡± Lalonde said. ¡°By Friday, there probably won¡¯t be any more left.¡± |
