The Louis Vuitton x Whitespace Luggage Set has been unveiled ahead of the Winter Olympics in Beijing as a collection of pieces that focus on a monochromatic aesthetic to offer tailored support for carrying athletic gear.
The collection was conceived by Shaun White and the late Virgil Abloh, and includes a series of four custom luggage pieces that are each covered in the French fashion house's recognizable monogram print in all-black. Each one of the pieces are emblazoned with a crisp white logo that command attention and makes them easily recognizable by onlookers.
The Louis Vuitton x Whitespace Luggage Set was developed in the French brand's atelier in France where they required more than 250-hours to be completed and 100 steps to be assembled.
