01 - Murakami Capucines Mini, SGD13,200
A majority of bags in this collection feature digital prints of the cheeky pink flowers on Monogram Canvas. However, the Capucines Mini stands out in rosy pink leather with special floral embroidery and embellishments. Measuring 21 cm by 13.6 cm, this petite top-handle bag comes with an extra removable strap for hands-free carry.
02 - Murakami Nice Mini, SGD1980
More than just a vanity case, the Nice Mini doubles up as a handy pouch for the grab-and-go that you can easily convert to a bag. Its cuboid shape is another plus, coming in at 20 cm by 13.5 cm, with an approximate 12 cm depth. You can use it to store everyday items or keep beauty essentials safe and upright.
03 - Murakami Pochette Accessoires, SGD3000
An official house classic, the Pochette Accessoires is loved for its handy 22 cm by 13 cm size and dual straps offering versatile wear. This special edition is embellished with cowhide-leather trim, an element unique this collaboration. Quite possibly the most Y2K of the lot, it also features a chic bow detailing secured with an LV padlock.
04 - Murakami Speedy Bandoulière 25, SGD3950
