Ska Revival
the reigning silhouette amongst men’s accessories over the last decade was indisputably the cross-body man bag. Here, Louis Vuitton sets the tone for the nouveau ’20s with its revamped Damier Motif, mirrored within a black-and-white-chequered pattern inspired by Ska, a musical movement from Jamaica in the ’50s that became all the rage in England, then later in America in the late ’80s and early ’90s as an offshoot of skate culture. The Saffron logo, chain detail and optical print give us a much-needed sense of joy and frivolity for 2021.
