Luxury French fashion house Louis Vuitton turns its signature Egg Bag into a haute aesthetic as the limited chocolate collection turns heads. The Egg Bag is transformed into an edible version for Easter around the corner with the collaboration of French chocolatier Maxime Frédéric.
The limited capsule nods to the fashion house's runway history while offering a new level of luxury that could be eaten. The Egg Bag made its first appearance in 2019 by creative director Nicolas Ghesquière. It is now entirely reimagined with the LV monogram pattern that is etched into the chocolate's shell. To create the new bag, Frédéric used 70% dark chocolate at the exterior with the handles and zipper pulls in 40% milk chocolate and a smooth milk chocolate bar filled with roasted hazelnut gianduja to round it out.
