The Louis Vuitton 'Felt Line' is a new range of accessories from the fashion house that aim to deliver impressive style that doesn't come at the expense of the environment. The bags come in three styles to choose from including the Keepall, Keepall XS and the Soft Trunk, which are each crafted using recycled wool-based jacquard, organic cotton and 100% recycled polyester. Each of the pieces maintain a varying appearance that will make them appear different across the surface as well as from piece to piece.
Global Head of Sustainability Christelle Capdupuy spoke on the new Louis Vuitton 'Felt Line' saying, "We also target the use of existing stocks of raw materials, in order to preserve natural resources. This is often done by Virgil Abloh in his collections. Today, we’re furthering our commitments by extending our sustainable development approach to all of raw materials with the goal of reaching 100 percent responsibly sourced raw materials by 2025.”
