The MCA Chicago is home to Virgil Abloh’s “Figures of Speed” exhibition. As part of the showcase, the “Church & State” pop-up store has been releasing apparel and accessory collections over the duration of the show. This time around four new Off-White™ bags have arrived. The previous release included Renaissance paintings, comprised of a Mona Lisa hoodie and Caravaggio and Bernini T-shirts.
For this collection of bags, the designs were taken from the ‘Culture Wall’ in the exhibition space. The three bags include the “Caravaggio,” “Lines,” “Caravaggio XL,” and “Lines XL” bags. The Caravaggio leather flap bag comes printed with the Italian painter’s The Entombment of Christ. The bag come with black metal hardware, and a binder clip hang tag. Also boasting two interior pockets. Another standout, the Lines Bag, features bright orange and white checkered lines. The design comes on the entire body and handle strap.
The flap bag and handle strap are made of leather. However, the cross-body strap is an industrial polyamide and polyester belt woven in a checkered pattern. The Caravaggio XL bag arrives printed with the same painting as the smaller version. The XL boasts a cropped, half-tone version.
Take a closer look at this artistic new Off-White™ collection in the images and find out more from MCA Chicago’s web store. Stay tuned for more from MCA Chicago and Virgil Abloh coming soon.
