After two decades, Japanese artist Takashi Murakami and Louis Vuitton are back with a re-edition of the collaboration. Simply known as #LVxMurakami, it’s a massive line-up that spans almost the entirety of the Louis Vuitton universe.
And while the motifs are more or less the same as the first edition, this re-edition encompasses bag icons past and present, SLGs, bag charms, printed silks and much, much more. But with too much to cover ahead of the first drop on 1 January 2025, here’s a curation of the most desirable pieces. Intrigued? Read on.

01 - For The Bag Lover
Channel your inner Y2K Louis Vuitton bag lover with the Monogram Multicolore Speedy bags. The first drop features Monogram Multicolore in white and black canvas with gold-tone and silver-tone hardware respectively. This #LVxMurakami multicolour motif is no doubt a standout of the re-edition collection, especially on the chic Nano Speedy (SGD3150) and Speedy 25 (SGD4200) that both come with an exclusive bow-shape bag charm.
02 - For The Collector
Looking for a precious keepsake or something to jazz up the space? Look no further than the Malle Pyramid (SGD33,500), a stack of four hard-sided trunks in white Monogram Multicolore. The exclusive ‘Art of Travel’ range also includes the Mini Sq Trunk (SGD14,200) depicting the whimsical Superflat Panda. Otherwise, there’s the popular 90 cm by 90 cm Square 90 (SGD785) scarf in Monogram Multicolore and Superflat Garden motifs, along with larger shawls that start from SGD1320.
03 - For The Sportsman
The Skateboard (SGD3850) makes a return for #LVxMurakami. The back view cleverly conceals the Superflat Panda nestling within the wheels, whereas the front showcases the LV logo. Rendered in Superflat Garden, Takashi Murakami’s signature flowers will instantly put a smile on your face.
04 - For The Traveller
Travel in style with Louis Vuitton’s Horizon 55 (SGD5300) in black Monogram Multicolore. The four-wheel rolling carry-on luggage designed by Marc Newson is jazzed up for #LVxMurakami, making it the most colourful monogrammed option in Louis Vuitton’s current repertoire. But if you prefer a hard-sided trunk, take the Rolling Trunk (SGD16,600) on board. The eye-catching white Monogram Multicolore will definitely steal the spotlight wherever you go.
05 - For The Trinket Lover
With charms and trinkets rising in popularity, these are likely to be the first to fly off the shelves the second they launch. Part-charm, part-keychain, the LV Bloom Key Holder (SGD700) and Key Holder Superflat Panda (SGD775) serve as dual-purpose accessories. While the Dragonne MNG (SGD650) boasts a touch of millennial nostalgia. Finally, the Chain Bag Charm (SGD890) attaches easily to the handles of your Speedy bag like a charming (excuse the pun) accessory.
