When it comes to shopping, everyone has these items that they have always been obsessing over but simply couldn’t get their hands on yet, wether for financial reasons or due to limited availability. I am in the unfortunate position of having far too many of these items which can be pretty depressing but also serves as a great motivator. As a result of exaggerated prices and the increasing amount of fakes, the search for sources that still offer these items has become something of a treasure hunt for those in the know. Some of these products were only hyped up designs that did not really stand the test of time and I am very happy that I did not spend any money on them. On the other hand, I have some long-time favorites that have always intrigued me and still excert this special aura of great design mixed with limited numbers. I decided to write about some examples that I will hopefully call my own one day, but as for now can only admire and obsess about on the Internet.
To start things off, I’ve chosen one of my favorite accessories of all time: the Louis Vuitton x Stephen Sprouse Graffiti Pareo scarf.

Lately, I’ve been pretty annoyed by the ongoing trend of ripping off Designer Logos. I read about the subject on two different blogs with completely different standpoint on the matter last week. A couple years ago when 5Preview basically started the whole “thing” by creating their Chanel inspired Rue Cavour T-Shirt, I loved the DIY approach of giving the traditional “interlocked C’s” logo a street-makeover. I even bought the shirt myself for nearly 80 bucks, telling myself that the idea was fresh and the shirts were at least handmade in Italy.
Turns out that after a Chanel lawsuit the T-Shirts were taken off the market and pretty hard to get afterwards. This seemed to “inspire” various other brands to apply the copy-and-paste approach to not only the Chanel logo but pretty much every label that you can imagine.

Louis Vuitton's Miami store recently got revamped by street artist RETNA in his typical typography style. In my opinion the font gives a very compelling new facet to the long list of LV-collaborations. As you can see RETNA is sporting a scarf with the same design that definately seems to be hinting at a possible collaboration on some products as well. Since I have been a great fan of both RETNA's work as well as Vuitton's artist collaborations, this has me in high hopes for some new accessories.
