For ArtyCapucines Chapter 4 in 2022, a striped black-and-white semicircular handle continues visually into the yellow Taurillon body to complete a circle. Buren's design came in four colors of only 50 each, and this rank A yellow example retains its box, dust bag and booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaniel Buren, the French conceptual artist known for regular vertical stripes and site-specific interventions, explained his design through the emergence of two fundamental shapes, a trapezoid and a circle. The handle is an exact semicircle, visually completed by a corresponding curved element in the body, and the flap is redrawn as a sweeping semicircle; this optical doubling required bespoke changes to the normal Capucines construction. Buren credited the result to the craftspeople able to interpret his requests, and the same striped vocabulary anchored his Observatory of Light installation at the Fondation Louis Vuitton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLouis Vuitton launched ArtyCapucines in 2019, inviting major contemporary artists to reinterpret the Capucines; the 2022 fourth chapter brought together Daniel Buren, Kennedy Yanko, Park Seo-Bo, Amélie Bertrand, Peter Marino and Ugo Rondinone. Buren's project comprised 200 bags divided across four colorways, so each color, this yellow included, was limited to 50 examples worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is richly grained, matte Taurillon leather in a saturated yellow that acts like a painted field, against which the alternating black and white handle reads with great precision. The LV Initials are tonal and restrained, stepping back so the striped circle becomes the bag's identity, and the design was developed around symmetrical halves and contrasting treatments, so each side offers a different view. The leather interior has one open pocket. Few handbags look more convincing on a pedestal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Louis Vuitton × Daniel Buren\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e ArtyCapucines MM (Capucines MM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine:\u003c\/strong\u003e ArtyCapucines Chapter 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taurillon leather; cowhide leather interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow \/ black \/ white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Width approx. 33 cm (13.0 in) · Height approx. 20 cm (7.9 in) · Depth approx. 11 cm (4.3 in) · Handle approx. 29 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e One of 50 in yellow; 200 Buren bags across four colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Louis Vuitton storage box, dust bag, booklet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Varnished metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdentification:\u003c\/strong\u003e NFC chip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"jp-grade\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJaponista grade A\u003c\/strong\u003e · Excellent, with minimal signs of handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRank A: excellent pre-owned condition with very few conspicuous scratches overall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlight rubbing to the bottom feet and light soiling at the base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe yellow leather remains strongly saturated, the striped handle crisp, and the circular relationship between handle and front intact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNFC chip identification; construction aligns with the Daniel Buren ArtyCapucines MM, including Taurillon grain, handle and flap geometry, LV hardware and dimensions matching documented examples at 33 × 20 × 11 cm, with original box, dust bag and booklet.
