Vibrant, nostalgic, and unapologetically joyful, the Louis Vuitton × Murakami collaboration returns in a dazzling third chapter to commemorate two decades since the Maison first partnered with the acclaimed Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. 

 

This chapter celebrates not only the legacy of a groundbreaking partnership but also the arrival of the 2025 summer season, bringing with it the revival of Murakami’s beloved, grinning Cherry motif.

Following the immense success of the first two re-edition chapters, this final offering accompanies Louis Vuitton’s 2025 Resort collection, fusing timeless creativity with the spirited visuals of Murakami’s pop-art universe / Photo via Louis Vuitton

Following the immense success of the first two re-edition chapters, this final offering accompanies Louis Vuitton’s 2025 Resort collection, fusing timeless creativity with the spirited visuals of Murakami’s pop-art universe. With over 70 unique items—including handbags, travel pieces, playful accessories, and even a whimsical bicycle—the latest Louis Vuitton × Murakami launch once again showcases the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and artistic daring.

 

At the heart of this collection is Murakami’s signature Cherry icon—two candy-colored, cheerful cherries perched on a vivid green stem—lovingly applied to designs through a blend of advanced techniques, such as multi-step serigraphy and intricate printing processes. From Cherry-shaped heels on raffia mules to subtle accents hidden within bag details, the charm of the motif permeates every element.

Pop, print, and prestige

A standout of this summer-ready release is the introduction of a new Monogram colorway that accompanies the House’s iconic brown canvas. Set against a crisp white background, this fresh interpretation acts as a blank canvas for a 3D-printed Cherry design that shines with an even more playful, high-gloss finish. Timeless silhouettes like the Speedy, Alma, and Side Trunk are rejuvenated with this modern take.

 

Additionally, the Capucines line receives a full Cherry makeover—metallic cherry charms dangle from chains, while tiny, secret cherries peek from zippers and fastenings. A collector’s dream, the Cherry-embroidered blue denim capsule includes beloved items such as the Pochette Accessoires, the Sunset bag, and the Keepall 45. Summer-themed lifestyle pieces, like a fan and a chic deck chair, enhance the spirit of leisure.

Footwear gets its own moment with Cherry Monogram denim on the Romy ballerinas and Maya platforms, while white sneakers and open sandals offer a casual yet artistic appeal. Making its debut is the Cherry 3D heel, featured on styles like the raffia Cherie with its Monogram bow and cherries, and the Lily in denim.

A pop-art summer

Elegant silk squares adorned with delicate cherry artwork provide lightweight flair, while charming bag accessories elevate any ensemble.

 

To present the third chapter of Louis Vuitton × Murakami, the campaign enlists Zendaya once more, capturing her in dreamy, cinematic visuals along the sun-drenched Mediterranean coast.
