Marie Ernst bags are explicitly designed as a parody and are not meant to mislead consumers into thinking they are genuine Louis Vuitton products.
Our branding clearly states this intent, prominently featuring the phrase "This is not a Louis Vuitton" in both English and French on the bags themselves. Inspired by René Magritte's famous 1929 painting, The Treachery of Images, which depicts a pipe alongside the phrase "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" ("This is not a pipe"), we aim to invoke a similar commentary on consumer perception and reality.
Just as Magritte emphasized the distinction between representation and reality, our bags serve to parody the luxury fashion industry while drawing attention to pressing issues like climate change and plastic pollution.
The design aims to raise awareness about the importance of using reusable grocery shopping totes to combat plastic waste, which harms our rivers, oceans, and streams. By creating a fun and eye-catching design, we encourage people to adopt eco-friendly practices, fostering a sense of pride in making sustainable choices in their daily lives. The checked pattern used in our bags is not exclusive to Louis Vuitton and serves as a playful homage to high fashion rather than a direct imitation.
Through our products, we celebrate creativity and individuality while promoting a vital message about environmental responsibility, echoing the sentiments expressed in Magritte's work about perception and meaning in art.
