Just when we thought the rainbow-fueled Murakami era had finally wrapped up, Louis Vuitton gave us a serious case of déjà vu. Earlier this year, the Maison celebrated the 20th anniversary of its iconic collaboration with Takashi Murakami, kicking off 2025 with a Monogram Multicolore wave, followed by the revival of the Cherry Blossom and Cerises-adorned designs.

An homage to the Artycapucines line followed, thought to be the final chapter. However, whispers in the handbag world hinted otherwise—and now it’s true: love it or loathe it, Murakami is back. On January 2, 2026, Louis Vuitton is bringing the Murakami magic to a fresh set of silhouettes, including fan-favorite icons from the original Y2K lineup that didn’t appear in the first round of anniversary releases. This Murakami lineup joins an expansive release that celebrates the Maison’s 130th anniversary of the Monogram, launching on the same date. Clearly, when it comes to Murakami and Louis Vuitton, the colorful party never really ends.

Much like the previous 20th-anniversary drops, this next wave goes big—covering everything from SLGs and accessories to footwear and travel pieces. With the collection set to be another drop brimming with vibrant accents, we’re spotlighting the key handbags to know for January 2026.
Travel Alma
A design missing from the first wave of Monogram Multicolore, the Travel Alma makes its debut with a contemporary twist on Y2K charm. Crafted in White Monogram Multicolore canvas with Vachetta leather, it features the collections signature studded details and an adjustable, removable shoulder strap with a 19.7-inch maximum drop. The bow-shaped clochette and luggage tag add playful accents, while a front pocket secured with an S-lock offers a practical spot for your passport or phone. Measuring 17.7 x 13.8 x 8.7 inches, it’s roomy enough for a weekend getaway while remaining cabin-size. The Y2K coded Travel Alma will set you back $5,750.

Neverfull MM
Continuing the travel-ready theme, the Neverfull MM is offered in White Monogram Multicolore canvas. Roomy but not bulky, it measures 12.2 x 11 x 5.5 inches and features Murakami’s signature bow-adorned luggage tag and gold-tone studded detailing. The matching removable pouch can be styled as a clutch or extra pocket, making it as versatile as it is playful. The Murakami Neverfull MM retails for $3,250.

Reinforced metal corners and a studded bow clochette with padlock nod to LV’s luggage heritage, while the adjustable and removable shoulder strap offer hands free carry. The Speedy 30 Soft joins the Murakami collection with a price tag of $4,400.

Capucines Mini
If White Monogram Multicolore isn’t your style, Louis Vuitton is offering a sleek alternative in black. Crafted from smooth black leather, the Capucines Mini is adorned with colorful enamel and gold-tone metal studs that reinterpret the Maison’s iconic Monogram. Measuring 8.3 × 5.4 × 3.1 inches, it opens to a single compartment lined with multiple pockets for easy organization—including a back slip pocket featuring the line’s signature Monogram Multicolore motif.

Capucines BB
Taking a softer approach, the Capucines BB joins the Monogram Multicolore revival. Crafted from soft Taurillon leather in a powdery baby-blue, it features a white-enamel LV logo at the front and the collection’s signature bow-adorned luggage tag in matching white leather. Offered exclusively in the BB size, the bag measures 10.6 x 6.8 x 3.5 inches, and features a wide detachable shoulder strap with a final hit of multicolore—subtle on one side, a playful flash on the other. Remove the strap and tag, and you’re left with a discreet, softly nostalgic nod to Murakami. The Capucines BB retails for $7,600.

Horizon Bag Charm
If you’d prefer a little piece of Murakami history, accessories like the Horizon Bag Charm offer a playful way to stray from the main handbag lineup. A petite take on the iconic Horizon luggage, this mini charm can’t carry it all—but its zippered interior comfortably holds small essentials like receipts or hair ties. Attach it to a Speedy or Neverfull, or pair it with the full-size Horizon 55 for a coordinated look. The Horizon Bag Charm retails for $.
