March 2025 sees the arrival of spring in joyful style, with the launch of Chapter Two of Louis Vuitton × Murakami (for Chapter One click here please). As a poetic celebration of Japan’s cherry blossom season, the 20-year anniversary re-edition of the era-defining original collaboration features Japanese master artist Takashi Murakami’s exquisite Cherry Blossom motif meticulously rendered upon more than 40 of the House’s creations.
From City Bags to silk Carrés, footwear including sneakers and platform sandals, to a spectacular made-to-order Malle Wardrobe, the collection embodies a time of the year when feelings of optimism, renewal and new life are at their peak.
With its cheerful pink flower heads and graceful petals applied using cutting-edge digital printing to a full range of creations, Murakami’s Cherry Blossom is the central motif of the collection: presented upon the iconic Monogram brown canvas of City Bags including The OnTheGo, The Papillon, The Boulogne, and The Speedy 25; a range of Art of Travel luggage including The Rolling Trunk, The Keepall 45, and hard-sided trunks including the spectacular Courrier Lozine 110 Fleurs which features physical Cherry Blossom patches attached to the surface; as well as smaller leather designs including The Nano Bucket bag and The Zippy wallet.
Elsewhere, The Marellini, The Alma BB and one of three different Capucines City Bags are given an all-over, rose-coloured rendering, their joyous surfaces in vibrant ‘cheeky pink’ to match the Cherry Blossom motif.
Finally, Spell on You perfume is given a playful lift as the Cherry Blossom motif is displayed ‘in floral flight’ across the bottle, cylindrical packaging, and travel case, as well as on the glass dome of the Ultimate Flacon.
LoL, Sandra
