Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork Bag
A shopper-style bag with a gold chain handle, the Tribute Patchwork is made up of samples of 15 bags from the Louis Vuitton spring/summer and cruise collections.
However, it is the most counterfeited brand in the world - just one per cent of all products claiming to be made by Louis Vuitton are genuine. With this in mind, the Tribute Patchwork was created not just for aesthetic effect but in conjunction with the company's anti-counterfeiting unit, which is confident that this may be the first Louis Vuitton product that cannot be faked.
A Louis Vuitton insider said: "It takes all the best parts of the season's creations and rolls them into one. We are confident that the bag is utterly exclusive and that it will remain so.

I have never been crazy about LV because its total look, those unmistakable tired monograms look so mass produced and cheap. I hate bags that has to scream the brand name for people to notice. Obviously, because of the proliferation of replicas, the prestige/status factor of Louis Vuitton has been seriously compromised. And this $42,000 patch work bag, is just that- simply unadulterated insanity.
