The true value of a gift is the sentiment behind the gifting.

Louis Vuitton 2017 “Gifting” collection renews the art of gifting. The range includes some 30 delightful presents to give to others – or yourself – and make everyday a special occasion.

Crafted in Louis Vuitton ateliers, this range counts 30 precious and whimsical items in three charming categories.

“The joy of writing” is celebrated with a colorful series of accessories in iconic Epi or Taiga leathers or the Monogram canvas, including notebooks, inkpads, pencil holders, bookmarks and more.

“The joy of decorating” is focused on a line of nesting boxes in leather marquetry, plexiglas and leather picture frames embossed with the LV initials, or porcelain valet trays decorated with travel-inspired motifs.

“The joy of gaming” brings a playful spirit to the 2017 collection. There are Monogram canvas boxes containing sets of dice and card decks bearing the LV logo, as well as tops with colorful leather discs, yoyos and even a “Louis” teddy bear in leather patchwork.

The new “Gifting” range has been available in Louis Vuitton stores worldwide since January 2017 and will regularly grow as Louis Vuitton celebrates events and festivities.

Featuring contrasting stitching, a microfiber lining to protect contents and Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram Flower as a graphic leather intarsia, the versatile CLARENCE GM boxes are a must-have for both home and office. The boxes are available in 3 sizes and can be stored in the
Matriochka way.

This modern design offers a graphic reinterpretation of emblematic Louis Vuitton signatures from the Maison’s iconic leather goods. Whether used as an ashtray or pin tray, it makes a strong interior design statement.

Inspired by Louis Vuitton‘s writing heritage, these luxurious yet affordable leather-coated pencils offer a selection of refined details. Featuring two striking colors and a Monogram Flower clasp, they make a fun gift.

For the Spring 2017 season, a new collection of Louis Vuitton’s Besaces, Handbags and Hobos has been named for the majestic Tuileries Garden, a principal feature of the Fashion Weeks in Paris. Combining the House’s signature Monogram canvas with colorful leather accents, these distinctive pieces open a new chapter in the Monogram story in women’s fashion.

“What amuses me while drawing is the fact to draw.” Karl Lagerfeld.

For Karl Lagerfeld drawing is like breathing and writing. “These are things that almost relax me,” says the designer who presents his new project with German stationery and art company Faber-Castell. The KARLBOX is a unique homage to Karl Lagerfeld and an expression of the symbiosis
between an artist and its tools.

The pencils that he uses are extensions of himself: colours, crayons and pencils decorate his various living and work spaces. And they are all inevitably labelled Faber-Castell. No doubt as, like each of his creations, these instruments are marked with a true luxury and authentic seal.

Limited to 2.500 pieces worldwide, The KarlBox contains all of the designer’s favourite drawing utensils. Every box comes with a serial number plate and a certificate of authenticity.

“Designers such as Karl Lagerfeld nourish the demand for work tools of the highest excellence and quality, which form a solid foundation for the blossoming of their creative power. The Faber- Castell Art & Graphic product line unites the best of 255 years of company experience in the development and manufacture of exclusive artists´ products,” explained Faber-Castell.

The box is divided into several drawers which include the primary colours. Therefore, in total, the KARLBOX contains 350 drawing instruments: markers, crayons, colour pencils, including reds, blacks, greens, yellows and blues set out like a colour chart.

This product line enjoys a high reputation with artists as well as designers of all types. Famous artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Paul Klee, Oskar Kokoschka and Neo Rauch have appreciated or are still appreciating the vast selection of colour nuances, as well as the quality promise of this product line, which has remained unchanged to this day: The high-quality pigments guarantee unsurpassed light-fastness and colour brilliance – for works that will stand the test of time.

The uber-chic box contains an extensive collection of over 350 tools for drawing and painting including 120 Albrecht Durer artists’ watercolour pencils and five Graphite Aquarelle pencils for painting, 120 polychromos artists’ pencils and pastels, a set of 60 Pitt Artist Pens Brush, 12 9000 graphite pencils for drawing, writing and sketching, and four Pitt Artist Pens Fineliners for detailed drawing.

According to Faber-Castell, the limited edition is already sold out online, but still available exclusively at Faber-Castell stores and KARL LAGERFELD stores all around the world.
