     made out of bin bags and leggings in the back of her
     mother's hair salon, she has a degree in sculpture and
     and technology and an armoury of specialised skills.

     These new critters was designed by Billie Achileos
      for the launch of the new Louis Vuitton monogram

     The Armadillo is to highlight the soft yet durable 
      quality of the leather.
     The Chameleon displays a variety of colour.
      The Grasshopper is constructed from products
      with zips and poppers that make satisfying noises
      like that of a gifted insect.
      Finally the Beaver who's functionality chops wood,
      builds dams and provides clever ways of organising
      one's life in mens bags and wallets.......
