A Legacy of Color and Creativity

In 2003, Murakami introduced a bold new vision to Louis Vuitton’s timeless Monogram, transforming it into a kaleidoscopic masterpiece. The Monogram Multicolore, featuring 33 vivid hues, became an instant cultural phenomenon, gracing some of the House’s most coveted handbags and accessories. Now, this legendary motif is making a triumphant comeback, rendered with enhanced vibrancy and precision thanks to modern digital printing technologies.

A Collection to Covet

Comprising over 200 exclusive pieces, Louis Vuitton × Murakami spans an impressive range of luxury creations, from handbags and accessories to footwear, jewelry, and even fragrance. Highlights include:

  • Monogram Multicolore showcased across beloved City Bags such as the Keepall, Speedy, Alma BB, and OnTheGo.

  • The Superflat Panda motif adorning sneakers, keyrings, and a skateboard.

  • The Superflat Garden design adding a whimsical touch to Attrape-Rêves perfume bottles.

  • An exquisite Cherry Blossom motif set to take center stage in Chapter Two, launching in March 2025.

  • A made-to-order Malle Wardrobe featuring a stunning assortment of 33 Speedy bags.

Every item in the collection seamlessly fuses Murakami’s playful, pop-inspired aesthetic with Louis Vuitton’s commitment to savoir-faire, ensuring that each piece remains both a collector’s item and a wearable work of art.
