Despite the fact that, as we reported last month,Louis Vuitton handbag designer Marc Jacobs is getting sick of the fashion house’s frequent collaboration projects, director Sofia Coppola has just signed on to design a new capsule collection for the brand. Coppola, a close friend of Jacobs’ who recently appeared in a Vuitton ad (above) with her famed father Francis Ford Coppola, will reportedly create a range of LV handbag and shoes for the company. Though nothing’s been confirmed, it’s expected that the new collection will initially only be available in Japan like LV’s current collaboration with Comme des Garçons designer Rei Kawakubo.
“I’ve kind of warned everybody up there [at LV handbag] that I think they’ve gotten a little too into this idea ,” Jacobs said of the collaboration projects just last month. “I’m glad that everybody gets behind it, but what they don’t realize is that I do it at a pace that maintains the brand’s integrity and seems really right, and I think that sometimes everybody loves a good idea so much that they kind of go too far and it kind of kills it.” Perhaps he’s making an exception for personal friends like Coppola.Louis Vuitton handbags, replica Louis Vuitton wallets from handbagfirst.com
