Sweetening Up Louis
It's been a while since I made a thinly veiled attempt to inspire a luxury brand into showering me with beautiful free fripperies out of gratitude for illustrating one of their objets de lust. {Even a light sprinkle or dusting would be quite all right.}
Today, it's Parisian Louis Vuitton's turn, with this bold resin, metal and brass bracelet of jewelled candy. The pieces include the quatrefoils and flower symbols from its legendary Monogram Canvas {launched in 1896 and inspired by the trend of using Japanese and oriental designs in the late Victorian era ~ according to Wikipedia, at least}. I couldn't locate this design on the website but I was temporarily blinded by something quite sparkly and spectacular on its home page, so please, forgive me. {And if anyone from LV is watching, I'm happy to accept luggage in lieu of jewellery. I'll even forgive Marc Jacobs for this. You're welcome.}
