Throughout the three-week run, guests are invited to participate in a number of activations illuminating the brand’s history, savoir-faire, and creative possibilities of the ultra-rare categories on display. For opening weekend, Louis Vuitton designers will be in town from Paris creating entirely bespoke trunks during one-on-one appointments. Later that week, a Malletage expert from Louis Vuitton’s historic French workshops will be demonstrating the intricate technique live.
A few exquisite pieces will make their debut during Crafting Dreams, like the Millionaires Speedy 40 by Men’s Creative Director Pharrell Williams. Hard-sided trunks, the original Louis Vuitton product, making their zone debut include the Capucines Trunk, designed specifically to store the Maison’s signature bag of the same name. Artworks such as the mosaic mirrored Campana Disco Cocoon chair from the Objets Nomades collection will be exhibited for the first time. Additionally, new items designed for summer entertainment, including surfboards and tableware, will be introduced. For women, high jewelry and watches crafted by Francesca Amfitheatrof, the Artistic Director of Watches and Jewelry, will be featured alongside garments made from the Maison’s premium materials.
