Louis Vuitton x Stephen Sprouse Graffiti Keepall 50 — 2001

A piece of fashion history with a wonderfully rebellious spirit! In 2001, Louis Vuitton's artistic director Marc Jacobs invited American artist and fashion designer Stephen Sprouse to do something almost unthinkable: cover the house's iconic Monogram with graffiti.

Sprouse, a fixture of New York's downtown art and fashion scene, was known for his bold graphics, punk influences, and creative connections to artists and musicians including Andy Warhol and Debbie Harry. His collaboration with Jacobs brought an irreverent new energy to Louis Vuitton, challenging the conventions of traditional luxury and helping establish the modern era of designer collaborations.

This remarkable Graffiti Keepall 50 comes from that original 2001 limited-edition collection. The bold lettering transforms Louis Vuitton's classic travel bag into a piece of wearable pop art—unmistakably Vuitton, but with an entirely different attitude.

More than a vintage travel bag, it's a collectible moment in fashion history. For anyone who appreciates the intersection of art, design, and fashion, this is a particularly exciting find.
