Rumors of Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami reuniting began popping up last summer, and now, nearly a year later, we’re back with official information on their third and final drop of one of the year’s most anticipated collections, accompanying Louis Vuitton’s Resort 2025 drop.
As Purse Blog reports, following the re-releases of some of the most iconic bags of the early aughts like Multicolore Monogram and Cherry Blossoms, comes the return of the iconic Louis Vuitton x Murakami Cerises Collection.
As with the launch of Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami Chapters One and Two, the third installment of the collection has become one of the year’s most anticipated collections. Once again, LV House Ambassador Zendaya fronts the campaign, lensed by Inez and Vinoodh.
Although the revival has consistently been touted as a 20th anniversary collection, Multicolore Monogram was actually first released in 2003, and Cerises was released in 2005, making the third chapter a true 20th anniversary celebration.
The collaboration brings back Murakami’s signature smiling Cherry motif, and consists of more than 70 pieces, featuring everything from bags and luggage to summer footwear, bag charms, silk squares, and even a collectible bicycle. Within LV x TK Cerises comes a robust selection of handbags.
This installment offers a few different options within the larger collection. Classic Monogram canvas, white Monogram canvas, and Monogram denim have cherries emblazoned on top, while versions of the Capucines incorporate cherries in various ways.
Chapter Three of Louis Vuitton × Murakami will launch worldwide on May 22, 2025, as a complement to the Maison’s 2025 Women’s Resort collection. True to its timing, this launch is the most summer-ready of the the three. You can get a preview of the collection at the Louis Vuitton site.
