Louis Vuitton x Stephen Sprouse - Skate Deck + Trunk

Ahead of a retrospective exhibition at New York’s Deitch Projects Gallery as well as the release of The Stephen Sprouse Book by Roger & Mauricio Padilha, luxury goods label Louis Vuitton will transform its SoHo flagship into a temporary showcase by the late Stephen Sprouse. Covered the store front in its entirety will be Sprouse’s signature graffiti in neon and vinyl, while a 6-foot neon light installation of Sprouse’s Rose design will be hung at the window.
The new collection will be available at all LV retail locations on February 2nd. However, 2 limited edition items will only be available at the SoHo flagship – 3 sets of skate decks imprinted with Stephen Sprouse’s graffiti + an unique Louis Vuitton Monogram skateboard trunk (seen above), and 70 units of Stephen Sprouse “Roses” T-Shirt. The skate deck and trunk set will sell for $8,250 each. The limited edition t-shirt will be available for $250 each. All proceeds will be for 3 charities centered on the promotion of art in NYC: Free Arts NYC Program, Sprouse Estate, and Stephen Sprouse Memorial Scholarship Fund at National Academy of Design.
