California-based artist Illma Gore is turning heads with her images posted on social media, a golden toilet made entirely from Louis Vuitton monogrammed bags. She worked for three months to make the fully functioning potty, and used 24 different bags worth a grand total of $15,000.
“I personally love the idea of what it felt like to cut up a $2000 bag,” Gore said. “And the urge to destroy is just the same as a creative urge. And when Tradesy came to me with this idea of, you know, hey would you want to make art pieces, I mean I couldn’t say no to that.”
The striking installation will be displayed at the Tradesy Showroom in Santa Monica, California, and is available for purchase at $100,000—a bold statement of brand loyalty and artistic rebellion combined.
