Luxury brands have taken their game of innovation to another level recently. After Balenciaga’s torn shoes and trash bag, netizens are shaken to witness a Louis Vuitton product.
The French luxury brand has recently launched a ‘Paint Can Bag’ worth approximately Rs 1.91 lakh (£1,980) from the late director Virgil Abloh’s final collection.
As per LV, the Paint Can Bag can hold two phones and several other personal items. Interestingly, the bag is available in “six-eye grabbing colours from designer Virgil Abloh‘s signature palette”, namely blue, red, yellow, green, purple and orange.

The strange looking bag first debuted at the late designer’s posthumous Men’s Fall/Winter 2022 runway show in the month of January. The collection was paired with a note reading, “dreams can come true” and has been described as Abloh’s “boy ideology”.
The bag has a coated canvas and cowhide leather with microfibre lining and a silver-coloured hardware.
The bag also has a removable and adjustable strap.
The collection’s launch has brought in mixed reactions from netizens across social media platforms.
