Louis Vuitton Murakami Panda

When I first blogged about this adorable Murakami Panda a couple months ago, I instantly set the wheels in motion on how I would be able to get one. It was easy enough in my mind since Tokyo was so close to Manila and I would recruit my brother to be my go-to boy. Unfortunately, when I found out how much it was, I instantly said NO! I had to draw the line somewhere when I was informed that it would cost $3800US. Wow, that's like a really fabulous LV bag already! But seeing these pics from Cliff Edge Street, maybe I was hasty in my decision. Only 150 pieces made with a signed certificate from Takashi Murakami himself, this seemingly simple plush toy just elevated itself into a work of art. Sigh...
