Quilting and Patchwork

An Ugly Patchwork Purse Draws Attention

by Mary Emma Allen on September 16th, 2007

When it’s a patchwork purse by Louis Vuitton, you can get $52,500 for it with no problem!  And it doesn’t even have to be attractive.

Fourteen older Louis Vuitton bags were cut up and stitched together to create this “ugly” bag of many colors, pockets, zippers and hangings with handle by special order for a customer.  Only five bags of this type are being made for sale in the United States and 24 world wide.

It goes to show, if you make a name for yourself or develop a brand, you don’t have to create attractive items…simply something original by YOU.
