I tried to use the things in Stephen’s vocabulary, and give the collection the shape, silhouette and styling that Stephen would have done when he was at the top of his game. It really is a complete homage, and a complete combination of what is Louis Vuitton, and what is this legendary icon, and then what are the icons and the lasting aesthetics that Stephen left in the fashion world.” – Marc Jacobs

2009 is a year to memorialize the great American artist Stephen Sprouse in the House of Louis Vuitton. Marc Jacobs chose to revisit the two motifs which, for him, best represent the legacy of Stephen Sprouse at Louis Vuitton: the graffiti and the rose. After the huge success of the limited-edition Stephen Sprouse collection, Stephen Sprouse’s rose motif appears on the Alma bag which was launched in new, eye-popping shades of glossy Monogram Vernis leather. The classical Alma MM in Monogram Vernis leather is revamped with the Roses pattern of the artist. The Louis Vuitton Alma MM Roses bag is discreetly embossed Monogram Vernis leather, textile lining, plain vernis leather trimmings. The golden brass pieces and double brass pieces opening and padlock and removable key holder make the liquid-like appearance more elegant and delicate. The bag measures 15.1″ x 11.2″ x 7.3″ and the inner phone and patch pockets add its practicality. With discreet Louis Vuitton signature and flashy colors, Rose Pop, Vert Tonic and Orange Sunset, the Louis Vuitton Alma MM Roses Bags gives us the grant fashion banquet in this spring/summer. We cannot deny that the essence of this bag is the rose motif. There is a story behind this rose design. In the mid-1970s, the designer got his hands on a state-of-the-art Xerox color copier, and started to enlarge images multiple times until they became distorted and abstract. And then the rose was used to mark his ‘thank you’ cards. In 2000, the rose featured on ready-to-wear and now takes its place as a Stephen Sprouse icon on the Louis Vuitton Alma MM Roses Bags. Now this bag, as a full-blown rose, is blooming in the fashion stage.
