Louis Vuitton X Takashi Murakami

Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami is the collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. The original collection ran from 2003 to 2015, was retired, and was revived by Louis Vuitton in January 2025 and again in January 2026.

Murakami reworked the brown and gold monogram into a 33-colour palette, released as Multicolore Blanc and Multicolore Noir, and expanded it with Cherry Blossom, Cerises, Panda and Monogramouflage. The pieces here are from the archive rather than the current reissue.

Every piece is inspected by hand and carries a lifetime authenticity guarantee. Shop online or visit our Cincinnati (Kenwood) and Beavercreek (Fairfield Commons) stores.
