This Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami shoulder bag is one of the most collected pieces from the 2003 Eliza collaboration. Murakami repainted the LV monogram in 33 silkscreened colors, and white was the canvas that let every one of them show. A vachetta leather flap pocket buckles shut at the front, with gold tone hardware and a raspberry microfiber lining hiding underneath all that color. Looping vachetta trims the shoulder strap and the base corners to match. Twenty years on, we still get more questions about this Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami collection than almost anything else that comes through the shop. Collectors chase it specifically, not the general Louis Vuitton archive. That alone keeps it in a different price bracket than the house’s other monogram pieces. We’d rather sell one of these than three quieter bags, the story does half the selling itself.
