Gabriel DiShaw's Star Wars/Louis Vuitton Mash-Ups

Unlikely upcycling

By Rain Noe - July 27, 2020

Billing himself as an upcycler and sculptor, artist Gabriel DiShaw has a wide range of tastes across different genres. Two of his muses that you're unlikely to see mixed elsewhere--luxury brand Louis Vuitton, and the "Star Wars" franchise--have become stablemates in DiShaw's studio. The artist takes vintage Louis Vuitton handbags and luggage, then upcycles them into Darth Vader half-masks (no COVID filtration, sorry).

Behold the LVader:

The LV McQuarrie Vader:

There's also a full helmet version, the Dark Lord LV:

The Mandalorian makes an appearance in this category as well:

If masks aren't your thing, maybe L2V2 is the droid you're looking for:

And if you need to conduct a ground assault in style, there's the LV Walker:

Note that LV isn't the only luxury brand DiShaw messes with. Behold Gucci Fett, the most fearsome bounty hunter in Milan:
