Louis Vuitton Monogram Floral Virgil Abloh Skateboard Deck

This is a Louis Vuitton skateboard deck in a floral Monogram treatment, from the skate range Virgil Abloh introduced for the house. It's for a collector who wants a Virgil-era Louis Vuitton object that hangs on a wall as readily as it rides.

The deck is wood, printed with the Monogram worked into a floral motif, and it was sold through Louis Vuitton boutiques in the house's own branded packaging rather than through skate shops. Functionally it's a standard deck shape, but at Louis Vuitton's pricing almost all of them stay unridden — most owners mount them or stand them in a case, which is how the graphic stays intact.

The difference between this and a skate-brand collaboration deck is production scale and distribution. Louis Vuitton made the skate pieces in very limited numbers and sold them only through its own channels at four figures, so they never reached resale in the volume a mass-produced collab deck does. One unit in stock.
