LOUIS VUITTON

Speedy Bag 30 Murakami

We Love: A classic with cult status. Cheeky, witty, trendy, and, above all, plenty of storage space. One for all time!

About: A conversation that lasted only 10 minutes, and the rest is history. In 2002, then-creative director Marc Jacobs invited Takashi Murakami to reinvent the Monogram for its 150th anniversary. Murakami asked Jacobs what he had in mind, to which he simply replied: "I don't know, it doesn't matter, do what you want!" After 300 designs, it was decided: the Monogram canvas would be reinterpreted in multicolor. Murakami presented it with a white and black background, which Jacobs immediately loved. The Monogram Multicolor collection was first unveiled at the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2003 show. Many other designs followed – Monogram Cherry Blossom, Monogram Cerises, Monogramouflage, and Monogram Panda, to name just a few. The partnership between Murakami and Louis Vuitton ended after 12 years with the discontinuation of the Monogram Multicolor line in 2015, making it the longest collaboration with an artist the brand has ever had.
