Diwali Diwine

Louis Vuitton is celebrating Diwali in style this year, taking the Indian Festival of Lights global. From November 5 (till December), its stores world-wide will be lit up with displays of traditional Hindu motifs, its windows designed in collaboration with Indian contemporary artist Rajeev Sethi. Vuitton's world wide windows (that's www for you!) will feature columns of trunks made of banana leaf paper, hand painted and glowing like lanterns.
Inside, a limited edition re-issuse of 40 pieces (only in size 38!) from 2010 will be made in specially developed sari fabrics, in warm colours and gold thread embroidery! Fabric made by Indian craftsmen (very pretty, see below) will include the LV floral motifs and truly celebrate the crafts and culture of India in a modern way. Namaste, you all!
