Off-White's 2.8 Jitney Purse is Inspired by the Louvre
Ellen Smith — December 1, 2020 — Art & Design
Off-White's 2.8 Jitney purse is custom-made and inspired by the Louvre. Inspiration can come from interesting places, and while art and fashion have always intersected, it's not typically the museum that receives the attention. This purse, designed by Virgil Abloh himself, differs, paying homage to the architecture of the Louvre in Paris.
The purse is set to be auctioned for the museum's upcoming 'Bid for the Louvre' with proceeds being donated to “a new space dedicated to artistic and cultural education.” In light of what the auction is for, this purse was designed to represent Paris in all its elegance, taking on a silhouette that's reminiscent of its iconic Louvre structure. The auction will be taking place through the Christie's website.
