PK.01 ESSENTIALS
Where transformation begins. Color, contrast and thread reshape the familiar without erasing its identity.
Louis Vuitton - Keepall
PK.01 - Freehand, painterly, unrestrained
Abstract compositions and layered pigment meet controlled spontaneity,
where emotion carries the full weight of the artist's hand.
Louis Vuitton - Speedy
PK01 ESSENTIALS
PK01 ESSENTIALS is the starting point of the Philip Karto language. Iconic vintage luxury bags are individually selected and transformed by hand through paint, embroidery, signature motifs and graphic interventions.
Each piece is individually reworked to preserve the character of the original bag while giving it a distinct new artistic expression.
Created in the Philip Karto atelier, ESSENTIALS brings together upcycling, craftsmanship and contemporary art in a collection designed to make familiar luxury icons unmistakably Philip Karto.
