Louis Vuitton asked British Artist Billie Achilleos to work on four animals made of Louis Vuitton leather goods. Billie masterfully transformed wallets, bags and belts into a menagerie of animals, including a grasshopper, an armadillo and a beaver.

Muy bueno!!!
beautiful, but I bet those recycled babies cost a fortune!
Sorry, but how can you call that “recycling”!!?..all i see is marketing buzz using brand new and overpriced items!
You know Christophe, I was thinking the same thing.
Strip the fact that Louis Vuitton commissioned this, and you have an inspiring idea for your average Joe to create a sculpture out of their own unused or outdated purses or wallets. I guess “recycling” is all about your perspective.
Thank you Lisa Foster ! You got it all ! :-) we are tired explaining each time this perspective. Same thing when people say “it’s repurposing not recycling…”
I have to agree with Lisa on this one. It got me thinking about things I can do with some old purses and wallets I have in my closet.
Awesome !!
Funny…I’ve been using a torn Christian Dior travel bag in my jewelry for years ….it was just to cool to throw out.
<3 this idea.
The thing is, they are very good works. I’ll bet there are very few that can compete with the creativity. Creative minds rule!
