Conceived by Nicolas Ghesquière and former [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-care) creative director Grace Coddington, the Catogram collection features leather handbags and purses, cat-covered scarves, blankets, notebooks, key chains, and hats. The cats used in each piece are actually hand-drawn sketches of Coddington’s Persian cats, Pumpkin and Blanket, as well as other cat-inspired designs. While the main focus of the Catogram collection is on felines, the capsule also contains numerous pieces inspired by Ghesquière’s Labrador - Léon. In addition to featuring adorable animals, the new collection also utilizes a new vintage bag design from 1934 known as Sac Tricot. Of course, [LV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-bag) put its own twist on the Sac Tricot by including Monogram Vernis and Epi leather, and a hexagonal chain link.
