Marc Jacobs reunites with artist Stephen Sprouse for 40th anniversary tote bag

While creative director of Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs tapped New York artist Stephen Sprouse for what would become a historic accessories collaboration. In 2000, Jacobs, who first discovered the colorful works of graffiti artists in 1984 while studying at Parsons School of Design, asked Sprouse to cover the iconic trunks of French luxury houses in his logomanic prints. The results became some of the most sought after leather items in the early days.

Now, 24 years later, Jacobs has reunited with the artist for a new 40th anniversary bag collaboration under his namesake brand.
