Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami Revive Iconic Collaboration with Extravagant New Collection
Amid waves of anticipation, Louis Vuitton has unveiled its upcoming re-edition of the iconic collaboration with celebrated Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. Supreme Leaks added to the buzz last Friday by sharing a sneak peek on Instagram, offering a glimpse into the luxury collection along with estimated price points.
Among the highlights is a colossal bag case adorned with Murakami’s signature multi-colored Louis Vuitton monogram, carrying an estimated retail price of $650,000 USD. Other standout pieces include a $3,750 USD leather carrier embellished with Murakami’s vibrant floral designs, a $7,800 USD Capucines bag, a $65,500 USD monogrammed trunk, and a $1,180 USD pen. Accessories such as belts, caps, wallets, bag charms, and even coffee cups are expected to retail under $1,000 USD.
This collection pays homage to the landmark collaboration that debuted at Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2003 runway under the direction of Marc Jacobs. Defined by its bold fusion of fashion and art, the collaboration introduced vivid hues and playful designs like cherry blossoms and monogramouflage to the luxury world, becoming a cultural touchstone for the early 2000s.
Scheduled for release on January 1, 2025, this re-edition honors two decades of influence, blending nostalgia with modern luxury. The upcoming drop promises to deliver a treasure trove of Murakami’s cartoon-inspired motifs combined with Louis Vuitton’s timeless craftsmanship. Stay tuned for more updates.
