I do!!!!! Love them to bits!

RP isn't popular on tpf back then. Oh well, I do like unpopular collection.

Anyone still remembers Richard prince collection from many years ago ? I used to think those are weird designs and never understand them.

Fast forward two years ago I saw someone carries one at a busy airport. I spotted it straight away thinking that it is a very cool looking bag. Only to find out at a close loook that the bag is actually from LV Richard prince collection.

Well this Masters collection reminds me of that feeling.

Hello. Sorry for very bad English. I do not understand all write. This, my new Van Gogh pouch. I like the shape specially created for this collection. And I love the new chain created as a jewel, but it is too short for a shoulder, I would take the chain of a pouch Felicie ... I would have liked the Keepall Vang Gogh but not in my budget for The moment ...

Your pochette is more beautiful in real than on the website but I'm surprised that you can't wear it over the shoulder. How long is the chain ?

What do you think of the collection fabuleux?

I think it's cool and interesting. I am clearly not the target audience for this collection so I m just looking at it from afar. I also totally understand why someone wouldn't feel comfortable wearing a bag from this capsule. It's definitely unique and provocative. But I love all the mod shots!!

I think small wallets, key holders, and maybe tiny makeup bags without the gold artist name on them would have sold really well for people who did not want to spend big money for a bag and yet still have something from the collection.

But these people you are describing are not the customers for whom LV conceived this collection. It's obviously marketed for those who don't mind spending a lot of money on something unconventional.

Does anyone know the significance of the rabbit bag charm?

I read that it is one of his most characteristic art - a balloon rabbit.

I was told the sales of Titan is banned in some conservative states. Might be the reason for its limited production.

Out of all the bags, I think Titian Neverfull is the most wearable because of its color and it's indeed GORGEOUS in real life. I was seriously in awe and I'm not even a big fan of the collection before coming to the preview. Titian is also more limited than the rest of the artwork pieces so all the more special. Sorry no pics of Titian because when I got to Titian I already had a bit more alcohol than I should have

Wait really? Why?

For me this is the most beautiful and wearable piece of this collection and I like the Van Gogh painting most. Hope to see it in real life in my LV store! Enjoy you beauty! Please, as others said, could you show what fits inside? Many thanks!

One thing ended up REALLY bothering me about this collection and is the main reason why I decided not to go for it: they cropped the original paintings. They decided what part of the painting was deemed worthy of being on the pieces and just excluded the rest. To me, this was noticeable the most on the Titian Neverfull. The name of this painting is "Mars, Venus and Cupid". They decided to leave half of the Cupid out. Gosh, the Cupid in the freaking title!! They also deeply changed the lighting of the painting when transferring it to the bag. I'd understand if this was their intent, to crop the pieces and use them as mere prints on the bags, and I would have approved it, if it weren't for the giant metallic letters on the front. It makes no sense to me to pay homage to the original painters so ostensively and then crop their paintings. And this happened not only with Titian. On the Mona Lisa ones, only her face is shown, but her hands are an extremely important part of the painting. There are many studies about the position of her hands and what this means, along with her smile. It's not just her smile. Yet, they decided to only portray her face. Another example: on the Rubens Neverfull, they covered the faces of the two characters that are on the sides of the painting with that side detail of the bag (I don't know how to call it). Their faces! They could have repositioned the print on the bag, but they decided not to do it. Again, I feel this would be fine if the intent wasn't the same, if they wanted to just completely remove art from that sacred place, but those huge metal letters with the painters' names tell me otherwise and I don't agree with this lack of internal coherence.
Anyway, this is just my opinion and my personal analysis.

Oh, I'm in trouble! I love that Titian Neverfull! I'm bargaining Mother's Day, my birthday, anniversary, and Christmas. Let's see how it goes...
