Introduction

Louis Vuitton reunites with Takashi Murakami for Artycapucines VII. The seventh edition of the series reinterprets the celebrated Capucines bag and related collectibles in vivid colour. It debuted at Art Basel Paris 2025, where the Balcon d'Honneur at the Grand Palais became a shared setting for art and fashion.

The collection brings Murakami's artistic language of colour, characters, and playful line together with LV's high craftsmanship, including:

Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami's Artycapucines VII expresses a meeting of art and luxury fashion, and offers a valuable lesson in building a brand with both creative energy and refinement.

  • The Capucines BB Golden Garden, decorated with gold-leaf-covered leather, floral marquetry, and enamel-painted details for an artful expression of elegance and luxury
  • The Capucines Mini Mushroom, with over 100 hand-polished resin mushrooms on mirrored canvas, creating a dreamlike three-dimensional fantasy world for its wearer
  • The Capucines Mini Tentacle, which transforms Murakami's Mr. DOB into a giant octopus through a moving sculptural structure and prismatic fusion, giving the bag a distinct identity
