For decades, the Louis Vuitton Speedy has been the most carried handbag luxury. Its monogram canvas was never meant to be altered. Philip Karto alters it anyway - through freehand painting, embroidery, and material intervention executed one by one within the atelier.

What was once familiar becomes authored. What was iconic becomes collectible.
