LV ICONS- Bucket
>> Tuesday, November 4
Shanghai, French concession, October 2017
The young man had looked so sad and solemn when he declared that life in Asia was "no fun anymore". But she was not about to reveal that she was going to continue the evening with another group of friends, her "night family", who had already left their luxury apartments in Repulse Bay and mist-shrouded houses on the Peak for the buzzing Bund, just a few hours' flight away. Pleading a migraine, she had cut short the first part of her evening programme. In her Bucket was the mysterious invitation, the magic pass she would need to get past the rigorous checks she was expecting at the entrance to this new and not yet fashionable club...
The Bucket was launched in the US in 1968 as a shopping bag. In the 1980s it was discovered by Japanese women on the look-out for an original bag that would go well with a kimono, and more recently it has been adopted by sharp-eyed night owls, alert as always to new style trends.
