In the early 2000s, no accessory had a chokehold on the zeitgeist quite like the Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami collaboration. Under Marc Jacobs‘ visionary leadership, the Maison joined forces with the Japanese artist celebrated for his vibrant anime-inspired motifs, injecting a playful riot of colour and whimsy into Louis Vuitton’s timeless monogram. The result was an era-defining collection that adorned the arms of It-girls like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie to Lindsay Lohan.
Fast forward two decades and the collaboration’s enduring allure hasn’t waned. In fact, luxury resale platforms have observed major demand for Murakami’s cherry-printed Speedy bags and Multicolore accessories, which remain the holy grail for collectors, co-signed by contemporary style icons Bella Hadid and Rihanna. Now, in 2025, Louis Vuitton celebrates the 20th anniversary of this legendary partnership with the Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami Re-Edition, a breathtaking homage that sees nostalgia bolstered by modern craftsmanship.
The 2025 collection features over 200 pieces, where a renewed vibrancy galvanises Murakami’s joyful artistry, thanks to cutting-edge techniques and meticulous craftsmanship. The iconic Monogram Multicolore returns in 33 luminous hues adorning classic silhouettes like the Speedy, Keepall, Dauphine, and OnTheGo. For those who relish the finer details, the collection extends to belts, wallets, and even wedge espadrilles, perfect for adding a dash of technicolour to any ensemble. And, of course, as a nod to the House’s spirit of travel, playful trunks ensure every journey is a statement in style.
While the first drop—the Monogram Multicolore—will be released on January 1st, 2025, the collection promises an extended celebration of Murakami’s genius with additional releases throughout the year. Proving that great art and fashion transcend time, the Louis Vuitton x Murakami Re-Edition invites us to relive and reinterpret an unforgettable moment in fashion history, now refreshed for the next generation.
