Description
History of the Model: Virgil Abloh, first black artistic director of the Louis Vuitton men’s line, had a profound impact on the world of luxury by mixing streetwear codes with the house’s heritage. This jacket is part of his first collections, where monogram denim was reinterpreted in modern cuts, often oversized or utilitarian. The color contrast, graphic elements and original finishes, such as the fancy slider, embody Abloh’s desire to transform clothing into a medium of cultural expression.
Exterior Details: The jacket has a loose structure with contrasting orange inserts at the shoulders and hood, while the rest of the garment is made from brown denim embossed with the Louis Vuitton monogram. Two large slanted flap pockets on the front, a back pocket and tightening tabs at the cuffs add a utilitarian touch. Orange thread stitching accentuates the construction lines, reinforcing the graphic look of the piece. The fixed hood completes its functional look.
Interior Details: The interior is fully lined in brown cotton, ensuring comfort and breathability. There is a woven “Louis Vuitton Paris” label in navy blue and yellow, sewn on the left side lining. The absence of internal topstitching or superfluous linings underlines a bias towards sobriety and functional comfort, typical of the contemporary approach of the house under Abloh.
Product Condition: The jacket is in excellent condition with no stains, tears or visible signs of wear. The monogram reliefs are clear, the zipper works perfectly and the decorative pendant is intact. The snaps and stitching are solid, the colors well preserved. The set shows little to no signs of wearing.
Care Instructions: Dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the monogram fabric and avoid any color alteration. It is recommended to store the jacket flat or on a wide hanger to avoid marks on the shoulders. Avoid machine washing or direct ironing on embossed designs.
Why Choose this Product: This Louis Vuitton x Virgil Abloh Monogram jacket embodies a key moment in the contemporary history of the house, where the boundaries between streetwear and luxury were redrawn. It will appeal to lovers of designer pieces with a strong visual identity, combining rarity, know-how and modernity. Its durable composition, careful finishes and bold design make it as much a collector’s item as it is a stylish piece of everyday clothing.
