'Louis Vuitton Travels With' series teams up with the fashion creative as they reimagine beloved pieces with quirky feline illustrations

- JOHN ROLAND LEGASPI

Gone are the days when cat ladies were seen as spinsters-alone and lonely.

Today, they are celebrated as independent women whose passion and love for felines reflect freedom, compassion, and even style.

The same can be said of Louis Vuitton's latest collaboration with the ultimate fashion creative, Grace Coddington. A true cat lady, Grace is furmom to Blondie, Blanket, and Jimi, who have long inspired her creative process. This time, their spirit becomes part of the French luxury house's designs, as Grace's illustrations of her beloved cats adorn some of its most iconic pieces.
