Size 48, offered as a sample piece, with the woven collaboration label photographed inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYayoi Kusama is among the most recognised living Japanese artists, known for dots, infinity and an obsessive, joyful repetition of pattern. Louis Vuitton has worked with her on more than one occasion, and this jacket shows what happens when that vocabulary is set onto one of the most American of garments. Across the back, a single flower unfolds in pale and mid blue, its petals and heart worked with a fine pattern of white dots; a second, smaller flower sits at the left of the chest, beside the house signature in script.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is a flat, saturated red, framed by cream sleeves with a pebbled grain, cream welt pockets, and ribbing at collar, cuffs and hem in cream with two red stripes. The jacket closes with white snap buttons, and inside is a red lining with the blue collaboration label and a small metal chain at the neck. The effect is graphic and warm, a jacket that reads clearly from across a room and rewards a closer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasured flat: body width 50 cm (19.7 in), length 67 cm (26.4 in), sleeve length from centre back to cuff 92 cm (36.2 in). Every measurement is taken by hand with the piece laid flat, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in).\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollaboration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yayoi Kusama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Varsity jacket with snap closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red with cream sleeves and a blue flower motif\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePockets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two outer pockets and two inner pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 cm (19.7 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 67 cm (26.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 cm (36.2 in), centre back to cuff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offered as a sample piece; no composition label is present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo soiling or damage is recorded; any marks are inconspicuous.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eA\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe woven Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama label is present and photographed, together with the signature embroidery on the chest and the interior chain at the collar.
