THE COMEBACK OF A CULT COLLABORATION
Two decades ago, Louis Vuitton made history by teaming up with Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami — turning classic luxury into collectible art.
What started in 2003 with the Multicolore Monogram exploded into a visual revolution. The collection gave birth to icons:
Multicolore, Panda, Cherry Blossom, and Cerises — pieces that blurred the line between fine fashion and pop culture.
And now in 2025, they’re back!!
2025 RE-EDITION: A CELEBRATION OF BLOOM & BOLDNESS
This anniversary drop is not just a re-release. It's a full revival — 200+ pieces, new silhouettes, and modern reinterpretations of those unforgettable prints.
