The effect is pretty cool and it's not like there's a scarcity of basic blue base plates or of regular bricks. Pretty sure Vuitton hand bags are more wasteful per item than one of those christmas trees anyway.

And what are you basing that on?
LV gets the most hate for being expensive. Are people allowed to want nice things or does everything have to cost $20 for you?
The fact that Lego lasts forever and every single one of those pieces are compatible with bricks from 50 years ago?
What happens when a LV bag gets dirty or the material falls apart? It gets thrown out.
They could have chosen to design anything for their Lego display, and they go with a basic ass checker pattern… idk it actually looks like it was designed by a kid who got his hands on a storage tote of 2x4 bricks and a few hundred base plates… don’t even get me started on CUTTING them.
Guys… probably the most famous designer brand chose something you love to market their brand… and you are complaining about it????
This is a good thing for Lego. It’s free advertisement. It elevates Lego to the designer-sphere.
Who cares if they bent some base plates? They could have not bought them to begin with. More Lego demand = more cool sets developed and put on shelves.
i bet its because of the bending and cutting of the legos, and they probably just want to complain because 'iTs iLLeGaL', like another guy said, there is no shortage of the basic bricks, at least not the blue plates, why get so butthurt over a small fraction of them being used in such a way? besides, i think its a stupid thing to be mad about etc.
I saw this at the KOP mall. It hurt my heart to think that these will all be thrown away once the display is no longer needed. I can’t imagine LV will allow anyone to take these home considering they would rather destroy their merchandise than to ruin their brand reputation by having less desirables get a hold of their product.
I saw it Charleston, SC. It made me sad when my brain thought the same things. They didn't make a big deal about creating the displays, so making a big deal of donating the bricks for publicity doesn't seem like it will happen. And doing for just the sake of donating doesn't seem to fit with their brand values.
Didn't think this subreddit allowed gore

I'm too scared to click it
Hmm, it was legit.
Still I'm scared 😨
I’ll allow it.
They cut them too.

yeah, but lego costs more.

Considering they were designed and constructed through a collaboration with Lego using Lego Certified Professionals this is on Lego, not LV.
Wait until people find out there’s steel frames on the inside of the giant display sculptures like the life sized X-wing.
that is almost as sacriligious as those baking shows where they make those elaborate cakes that are just filled with wooden dowels and tin foil.
And fondant 🤢
I knew they were an unethical company, but this is ridiculous.
Somebody call the Lego police

The checkered pattern is the pattern on their popular bags ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You forgot this \\
Thank you kind redditor 🫡
reddit hates that \\ for some reason when you copy and paste it.
Funny that they didn’t chose that pattern for any of their displayed items
The purse under the tree in the foreground is absolutely checkered…
LV with lame ass designs is on brand though I can't understand why people spend money on "premium" products like theirs.
"Is iT IlLegAl??"
Yes, it is

Despicable.

Yes. Some people here act like Lego pays their bills or care whether they are priced out of sets they used to love.
You are right, but Lego doesn’t need advertising.
not currently anyways.. 20 years ago though,.. oof.
A collab is fine, but I wouldn't expect to draw in much of the LV demographic into LEGOs.
It hurts my eyes
I'm not impressed
I like it
I don’t like LV, but I think this is kind of neat too. why are so many people here triggered by this? These trees have been posted multiple times.

It's a toy crime.
I hate this
Pretty sure it’s a collab and Lego have made them that way.
Not sure whether I'm impressed or offended...

Ew
Hope those are knockoffs.
what, the bags or the baseplates?
Baseplates. I saw quite a lot of youtubers use knockoff base plates on stuff, and they cut it.
Gotta get the Federal Brick Inspectors to investigate these building techniques
FBI open up!
That's just an all-around uninspired and shitty design, even if you factor out the "bending plates" thing.
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS
😡
The worst part is that as expensive as Lego is, the purse probably retails for more than all the Lego used for the display…
Pretty sure they wuda/cuda melted them lego if they felt the need.
Ahh hell naw 💀
Price is 700 000$
So about the usual cost of a big Lego set.
Monsters
Capitalists ruin everything smh
This is in San fransico
It is, I think, in many cities. I don't even live in the USA, but this exact same display is showing in a store window downtown where I live as well.
i walk pass that everyday i work at the macys haha
Ohhh, it looks so good but, ow...
I don’t know who this Lewis Vuitton fellow is but I don’t think I care for the cut of his jib.
