More than twenty years after their first groundbreaking collaboration, Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami have reunited for a collection that feels more out-of-this-world than ever.

Titled Artycapucines VII, the series of 11 creations merges the House’s artisanal savoir-faire with Murakami’s fantastical, technicolor imagination. The collaboration is both an homage to Louis Vuitton’s craftsmanship and a celebration of Murakami’s Superflat aesthetic—a movement that dissolves the boundaries between high art, pop culture, and playfulness.

Unveiled on the grand Balcon d’Honneur at Art Basel Paris, where Louis Vuitton has been an associate partner for three consecutive years, the exhibition transforms the space into a dreamscape. At its center stands an eight-meter-tall octopus sculpture inspired by Chinese lanterns, its tentacles tenderly cradling each piece from the collection. Around it, Murakami’s universe unfurls—Mr. DOB and the Superflat Panda shine, enshrined on the bags in the collection, while the surreal, ogling Superflat Jellyfish Eyes pattern features on the octopus sculpture’s eyes.

Among the many highlights of the Artycapucines VII collection are the Capubloom, Capucines East West Rainbow bag, Capucines XXL Camo, and Capucines Mini Mushroom—each one a collision of meticulous craftsmanship and boundless imagination.

Named after Rue Neuve des Capucines, the Parisian street where Louis Vuitton opened its first store in 1854, the Capucines bag has long symbolized the brand’s enduring spirit. This latest collaboration—with its exuberant palette and fearless creativity—reaffirms that even after more than 170 years, Louis Vuitton continues to reinvent itself while staying true to its roots. Through Murakami’s eyes, the House once again proves that heritage and innovation aren’t opposites—they’re in perfect, colorful conversation.
