Another backpack worn by JUSTIN BIEBER was a purple suede backpack by a new name in high end fashion industry – LOUIS STEWART. The Usher’s artists and teen pop superstar was bringing the JET PACK at the backstage of his concert in LA. He was also spotted wearing the custom-made bag at JFK airport.

The backpack may slightly resemble those of the Louis Vuitton collections. It’s no wonder as the designer – Louis Stewart worked for Louis Vuitton fashion house for a year before leaving the company to launch his own custom bag company. Recently his works are popular among the Hip-Hop community, thanks to the efforts of comedian/actor Alex Thomas (who is now the Louis Stewart spokesman). In fact, Louis Stewart collections are in high demand amongst NFL and NBA players.
List of celebrities joining Louis Stewart movement includes rapper Fabolous, Outkast member: Big Boi, Gucci Mane, Soulja Boy , Rappers Nicki Minaj and the newly christened: Ricky Rozay, hip hop artist T.I. a.k.a T.I.P and NBA Superstar Chris Paul.

Until now, the fashion house still produces its collections in limited number and custom made. Perhaps that exclusivity is another reason many people are enthusiast about the collections.

The purple suede custom-made LOUIS STEWART JET BACKPACK retails for US $2,500 and are available by custom order only. There are a variety of colors, skins and fabrics to choose from.
