The Second Life pieces have grown into something deeply personal—artworks that don’t just tell a story, but tell your story. Each one begins with a vintage Louis Vuitton bag, already carrying years of history and character. We carefully take it apart, honoring its past, and then reimagine it as a new canvas. That canvas is mounted onto a backboard, and the handle is wrapped in an upcycled luxury scarf—an elegant finishing touch that feels like sealing the piece with a gesture of care.

From there, the transformation becomes uniquely yours. Every bag is constructed differently, using embroidered patches, feathers, appliqués, leather dog tags, vintage chains, charms, beads, and small treasures collected over time. Nothing is ever duplicated. Each piece becomes a one-of-a-kind assemblage, guided by your choices and the details that matter most to you.

We design and make custom patches in the studio, which can be personalized or chosen for you. This is where your story comes in—what places light you up? Which symbols or totems carry meaning in your life? Do you want to celebrate a passion, a memory, or even add a monogram that makes the piece undeniably yours?

These works are the most personal creations we’ve ever offered. They’re not just artworks or accessories—they’re vessels for memory, meaning, and identity. Made to be filled with the icons, passions, and stories that belong to you alone.

26x26x2 inches, framed in acrylic.

How to Customize Your Second Life Piece

Stephen Wilson Studio

Second Life Adorned

The Second Life pieces have evolved into something even more extraordinary. Each one begins with a vintage Louis Vuitton bag, carefully deconstructed and reimagined into a new canvas. The canvas is mounted on a backboard, and its handle is wrapped in an upcycled luxury scarf, preserving a touch of its storied past.

Now comes the exciting part—the adornment. Every bag becomes a one-of-a-kind artwork, featuring bespoke elements such as embroidered patches, feathers, appliqués, leather dog tags, vintage chains, charms, beads, and other collected treasures. You choose what speaks to you, and we’ll assemble a piece that tells your story.

Each bag is deeply personal—an expression of identity, memory, and artistry. Whether it’s a place you love, a symbol that inspires you, or your own monogram, your Second Life Adorned piece becomes a modern heirloom—crafted by hand, and filled with meaning.
