Illma Gora knows how to transform anything into art

California-based artist Illma Gore’s latest project proves anything can become art if covered with a luxury brand.

Gore designed a fully functional toilet covered in $15,000 (12,800 euros) worth of Louis Vuitton bags.

That’s 24 leather bags that Gore cut up to cover the toilet with the luxury brand reported a local media station.

The toilet also has a gold-plated interior.
