Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami’s legendary collaboration is set for a 2025 re-release. After discovering the Japanese artist’s work in 2002, the label’s former creative director, Marc Jacobs, tapped Murakami to reinterpret their signature monogram.
Throughout the aughts, Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami handbags were the go-to accessory of “It” girls like Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Jennifer Lopez. They even featured prominently in the 2004 comedy “Mean Girls,” appearing in the arms of Queen Bee Regina George (Rachel McAdams) and her eventual successor, Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan).
Since the Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami line was officially discontinued in 2015, prices of handbags, scarves and other accessories from the collaboration have skyrocketed on resale sites as the infatuation with Y2K nostalgia continues.
In recent years, stars including Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Ice Spice and Zendaya have revived the Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami craze, showing off their prized purses from courtside seats to the streets of Paris.
