If you thought Murakami’s rainbow-fueled LV era had ended, think again. This year, Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami celebrated 20 years of Y2K favorites—from Monogram Multicolore to Cherry Blossom and the cheeky Cerises. And now, Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami are back in full bloom—and this time, the art is practically bursting off the bags.

Building on this vibrant archive, the Maison is turning its attention to the Capucines. Since its debut in 2013, the Capucines has been a blank canvas for endless reinvention. The Artycapucines line, launched in 2019, invited contemporary artists to put their signature spin on the iconic silhouette. Now, Murakami has his turn with a lineup of eleven limited-edition variations. From grinning flowers to pandas, camo, and a sprinkling of Monogram Multicolore, Murakami transforms the Capucines into a pop-art playground – and let’s just say, entry isn’t for the faint of heart.

Artycapucines Mini Tentacle

The Capucines Mini Tentacle wraps Murakami’s sculptural vision around the classic silhouette—literally. Crafted from smooth baby pink leather, the 8.3 x 5.4 x 3.1-inch bag features octopus tentacles that curl around the body and cleverly form the top handle. A matching red enamel LV logo anchors the design. Only 95 pieces exist worldwide, each priced at $31,000.

Artycapucines Mini Mushroom

Sprouting across high-shine silver leather, approximately 100 of Murakami’s fantastical mushroom charms bring a psychedelic pop-art forest to life on the Capucines Mini Mushroom. Each charm is crafted through 3D printing and meticulous hand embroidery, creating a tactile, sculptural effect. The Capucines Mini Mushroom is limited to 205 pieces, and priced at $34,500.

Artycapucines Mini Autograph

A hand-doodled flower and Murakami’s signature and Monogram Multicolore interior add an additional artistic flourish. Limited to 115 pieces worldwide, it retails for $41,000.

Artycapucines BB Golden Garden

The Artycapucines BB Golden Garden glows in metallic gold leather. Measuring 10.6 x 6.8 x 3.5 inches, the LV initials are crafted to resemble wood, while a mix of Murakami’s flowers in bright and neutral tones is painted across the bag. Limited to 150 pieces worldwide, it carries a retail price of $43,500.

Artycapucines Capusplit BB

With a split personality to match its name, the Artycapucines BB silhouette is literally divided down the center, placing the LV initials front and center as the bag’s halves shift to create an elongated, east–west effect and a layered look. Crafted in glossy bleu crocodile, the exterior reveals the signature Monogram Multicolore interior. Only 75 pieces of this design will be produced, each priced at $41,000.

Artycapucines EW Dragon

Staying with elongated silhouettes, the Artycapucines EW Dragon takes inspiration from Murakami’s 2010 piece, entitled Dragon in Clouds Indigo Blue. Crafted in white leather, the bag features a delicately painted blue dragon motif that flows across the body. Measuring 8.7 x 4.7 x 3.1 inches, the design extends to the curved top handle, which appears crafted in silver metal with blue accents, echoing a chainmail-like pattern reminiscent of the dragon’s scales. Produced in a run of 105 pieces, it retails for $24,700.

Artycapucines EW Rainbow

If you thought the Artycapucines lineup couldn’t get louder, think again. The Artycapucines EW Rainbow engulfs a white leather body in Murakami’s signature rainbow floral design. Crafted from what appears to be mink fur, the bag bursts with color and personality—one side features a beaming smiley face, while the other shows a serene, eyes-closed expression. This edition is limited to 380 pieces, each priced at $28,400.

Artycapucines MM Eye

Pastel pink leather meets pop-art flair in the Artycapucines MM Eye, featuring an oversized, statement-making eye on the exterior and the tentacle top handle first seen on the Capucines Mini Tentacle. Measuring 12.2 x 7.9 x 4.3 inches, the playful design continues inside, where multiple eyes seem to watch you. Limited to 85 pieces worldwide, it retails for $22,300.

Artycapucines XXL Camo

Adding a larger-than-life silhouette to the lineup, the Artycapucines XXL Camo appears bigger than the Capucines GM from the core line. Crafted in a soft camo print that seems to be denim, it draws on motifs from Murakami’s 2009, TIME collection. Replacing the traditional Capucines top handle, this design features an adjustable leather strap, giving it a relaxed, slouchy feel. Produced in a limited edition of 155 pieces worldwide, it retails for $18,500.

Artycapucines Capubloom

And then there’s one – even if not a Capucine, yet part of the lineup. The Artycapucines Capubloom takes the silhouette to another dimension. The sculptural form comes from a multicolor acrylic overlay adorned with Murakami flowers, while the soft leather interior features a drawstring closure. The design retains the signature top handle and LV initials, and comes with an adjustable shoulder strap. Limited to 380 pieces worldwide, it retails for $31,000.

Panda Clutch

Rounding out the lineup with a wink of whimsy, the Panda Clutch transforms Murakami’s iconic panda into a sparkling spectacle. Covered in Swarovski crystals, the miniature bag opens via a discreet clasp to reveal a hilariously tiny hot-pink-lined interior—perfect for carrying… almost nothing. Limited to 130 pieces worldwide, it retails for $51,000.

This special-edition collection is accompanying an even more limited exhibit. Louis Vuitton is unveiling the collection in honor of Art Basel Paris 2025, where Murakami has curated an installation at the Balcon d’Honneur at the Grand Palais, running from October 24 to 26. The immersive experience features an eight-meter-high octopus sculpture inspired by Chinese lanterns, with sweeping tentacles enveloping the exhibition space.

For those looking to invest in a piece of LV Murakami art, the Artycapucines collection is set to ship in January 2026.
