Marking the grand finale of one of fashion’s most iconic collaborations, Louis Vuitton and Japanese artist Takashi Murakami have released Chapter Three of their re-edition collection, a playful and colour-saturated homage to their two-decade-long creative legacy.
Originally debuting in the early 2000s, the Louis Vuitton x Murakami partnership helped redefine the possibilities of luxury fashion collaborations. With Murakami’s vibrant, manga-inspired graphics splashed across Louis Vuitton’s signature Monogram canvas, the collection became an instant cultural touchstone.
It introduced a generation to the idea that art and accessories could not only coexist but also elevate one another, bridging fine art and high fashion in a way that was ahead of its time. Launching in tandem with the Maison’s 2025 Resort collection, this third and final chapter continues their shared spirit of innovation, offering a fresh, joyful take on house icons.
The collection is a vibrant array of over 70 pieces including handbags, luggage, silk squares, footwear and playful summer-ready accessories — all unified by the return of Murakami’s beloved cherry motif. First seen during the early 2000s heyday of the collaboration, the smiling cherries were an instant hit, embodying the artist’s signature pop-art sensibility and kawaii aesthetic. Now, they return with even more charm and dimension.
The iconic motif appears as three-dimensional appliqués on crisp white Monogram canvas, gleaming metallic charms and hardware, and even as sculptural heels on raffia mules and embroidered denim shoes. The cherries also adorn Capucines bags, embroidered blue denim capsules, and whimsical seasonal collectibles like a hand fan, deck chair, and even a bicycle.
Among the collection’s most anticipated offerings are refreshed takes on Louis Vuitton classics. These include the Speedy, Alma, and Side Trunk, all rendered in newly introduced Monogram colourways that act as striking blank canvases for Murakami’s technicolour world.
There’s also the return of standout accessories like the denim Pochette Accessoires, the Keepall 45, and footwear favourites such as the Maya platform sandal and Romy ballerina — all infused with thoughtful and joyful detailing that feels both nostalgic and contemporary.
To showcase the collection, Louis Vuitton once again taps House ambassador Zendaya for its campaign. Captured by renowned photography duo Inez and Vinoodh, the visuals place Zendaya in cinematic summer scenes along the Mediterranean, surrounded by oversized renderings of Murakami’s cherries. Dressed in key pieces from the new drop, she embodies the spirit of carefree joy, nostalgia, and effortless luxury that defines the collaboration.
Now available worldwide, the collection arrives just in time to infuse your summer wardrobe with a dose of joy, whimsy, and unmistakable style. Discover the full collection at louisvuitton.com.
