Supreme, Louis Vuitton

In 2000, the six-year-old skate company Supreme received a cease and desist letter from one of the most notable luxury fashion houses in the world, Louis Vuitton. Seventeen years later, the two brands unveiled their highly coveted collaboration at Le Palais Royale in Paris for the Fall/Winter 2017 Menswear Collection. 

Hats, t-shirts and skate decks, the same items that in 2000 prompted the cease and desist, now featured the Louis Vuitton monogram pattern in the iconic Supreme Red and LV’s classic black and brown.

Led by Vuitton’s creative director Kim Jones and Supreme’s founder James Jebbia, the collection was a pivotal moment in fashion, blurring the lines of street and luxury. As stated by Louis Vuitton, the collection titled “Friends and Heroes” is “a representation of the excellence of a New York street style and Louis Vuitton’s French savoir-faire.” 

Made from premium leather and Monogram coated canvas, this Louis Vuitton x Supreme Initiales belt can be worn two ways: One side is solid, rich brown leather, and the other displays the combined LV x Supreme Monogram pattern in brown and tan. A large removable gold-tone LV Signature buckle completes the belt’s design.
