Louis Vuitton Sprouse / Graffiti

Louis Vuitton Graffiti is the 2001 collaboration between Louis Vuitton and American artist Stephen Sprouse, who sprayed neon graffiti lettering directly over the house monogram. It ran for a single season and was never put back into regular production.

The collection was commissioned by Marc Jacobs and is widely credited as the first time a luxury house allowed an outside artist to deface its own signature print. A short tribute run followed in 2009 after Sprouse died. Nothing since.

CLB XXIII has 10 authenticated Graffiti pieces in stock, most one of one. Every item is inspected by hand before it reaches the floor and carries a lifetime authenticity guarantee. Shop online or visit our Cincinnati (Kenwood) and Beavercreek (Fairfield Commons) stores.
