The official channels do not seem to have retained the information
necessary to build Inkscape 1.1.1.
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/inkscape.scm
You would likely need to use an older version of the SCM to build 1.1.1.
Perhaps something like this:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/inkscape.scm?id=12c9e59600e90206d8defcbe29e26f606390240a
Once you do get a SCM that can build 1.1.1, you might be interested in
using `guix shell` to run them side-by-side without having the
configuration file from one cause problems for the other.
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-shell.html
Something similar to the following two commands would likely do what you
want.
guix shell --container --no-cwd inkspace@1.1.1 -- inkscape
guix shell --container --no-cwd inkscape@1.2.1 -- inkscape
If you are using a local SCM for the older version of Inkscape, your
first command might look something more along the lines of:
guix shell --container --no-cwd /path/to/inkscape1.1.1.scm -- inkscape
