Twenty years after their groundbreaking partnership, Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami celebrate the enduring impact of their collaboration with an exciting re-edition collection. This anniversary project revives the playful and visionary designs that redefined luxury and pop culture, offering more than 200 meticulously crafted pieces that merge cutting-edge technology with traditional craftsmanship.
The Louis Vuitton x Murakami collection showcases Japanese artist, Mr. Murakami’s, vibrant aesthetic, characterized by his fusion of Japanese art traditions, anime, and pop culture. The re-edition celebrates his kaleidoscopic reinterpretation of Louis Vuitton’s Monogram pattern—an iconic design that first emerged under the creative leadership of Marc Jacobs in the early 2000s.
This landmark collaboration brings back cherished motifs like the Monogram Multicolore and whimsical characters, reimagined with modern precision and vibrancy.
The Louis Vuitton × Murakami re-edition showcases the iconic Monogram Multicolore on a variety of creations. On a white background, it graces City Bags like the Dauphine Soft, OnTheGo, and Speedy 25, as well as small leather goods, such as belts, wallets, sunglasses, and a made-to-order Malle Wardrobe with 33 Speedy bags.
A black background version appears on bags, luggage, hats, shoes, and silk carrés. Mr. Murakami’s Superflat Panda adds whimsy to bags, wallets, travel items, a skateboard, and keyrings.
Perfumes, including Attrape-Rêves and Imagination, feature Mr. Murakami’s motifs on bottles, packaging, and travel cases for a playful touch.
This re-edition’s production integrates advanced digital printing techniques, achieving unparalleled color precision and depth. Every piece celebrates Louis Vuitton’s dedication to innovation and artistry, elevating Mr. Murakami’s designs for contemporary audiences.
While Chapter One of Louis Vuitton x Murakami debuted on January 1, 2025, a second chapter is promised in March, spotlighting the Cherry Blossom motif.
Through this re-edition, Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami reaffirm their shared commitment to creativity, timelessness, and cultural resonance. This joyous celebration not only honors a defining moment in fashion history but also continues to inspire new generations of collectors and art lovers worldwide.
