In its new autumn/winter 2021 collection, the brand wanted to express a vision of design with a certain “post pandemic” spirit. And to do so, it chose a new version of the Musubi bag, one of the Swedish brand‘s iconic accessories.

The American artist has customised this bag by printing a constellation of stars hand-painted by himself. The limited-edition Acne Studios and Ben Quinn accessory is available in three different models that shine in the West Hollywood shop today.

The custom silhouette has a psychedelic feel to it, this season’s most on-trend print. Although all the models play with the silhouette of the star, they have opted for small variations and evolutions of the colours of the rainbow.

“Lately, I’ve been a little obsessed with the pulsating star shape,” explains the Los Angeles-based artist. “I hope it’s a way for people to see that there are so many things to experience and a reminder to live psychedelically… or maybe a weird dream.”
