kanye west louis vuitton backpack Kanye Wests Custom Louis Vuitton Backpack

Kanye West has once again proved that his moniker “The Louis Vuitton Don” is not just empty bravado. On his blog, Kanye has unveiled his one of one (none before it and none to come) custom made, extra large, extra luxurious Louis Vuitton backpack. The backpack features Louis Vuitton’s signature Damier Canvas print with light brown leather trim and it took a year and a half to make. However, don’t look for this to be in stores anytime soon but expect the manufacture of fakes to go through the roof.

    Kayne is fucking lame. I swear this guy stands infront of a mirror for like an hour a day with his cool sunglasses, Jesus chain and exclusive LV gear and has pretend concerts. How anyone likes him for anything more than a producer is beyond me. But as far as that backpack goes, it’s alright. But as with all Louis products, you’re than only one (If you actually own something from them) that knows if it’s real or not. What with all the fakes out there.

    Actually you dummies, louis vuitton customs can be had by any plebeian for a demimodest sum, in comparison with other “ballin” items celebs blow their cash on, along the lines of ten stacks($10,000+/-). And for the kanye haters, let us all remember who started the louis backpack craze. i would expect my fellow hypebeast readers to be a little more knowledgable, but i guess i overestimated a lot of u guys, micha’s right i would call him a trendsetter, not a hypebeast.

    @ ContrazZed nope he’s not hype nothing, people copy him then that gets hyped so he’s not the hype beast. the people who copy him are.

    ust another rapper with another bag. Nothing new. Understand? Nouveau riche doesn’t mean you got style or class.

    who exactly does ‘Ye “wannabe”? He doesn’t wannabe rich, he doesnt wanna be famous; HE IS… If these brands are paying him to work with them he’s setting the trends genius. Stop hating and do you.

    As famous as he is Kanye is such a wannabe, it’s too far. he doesn’t set trends. He follows them.
