The Louis Vuitton Cherry collection refers to limited edition Louis Vuitton x Murakami bags, the first of which came out with the 2003 Spring-Summer collection. After attending a Takashi Murakami show at the Cartier Foundation, in Paris, Louis Vuitton creative director Jacobs asked himself, “I wonder if that guy would ever be interested in collaborating on something for Vuitton?” He sent an email to the Japanese Pop artist, and soon, the two were brainstorming ideas for combining “the spirit of Takashi and the history of Vuitton.” The Monogram Multicolor they came up with was dubbed by Vogue the “defining collaboration of the noughties.” Later collections included the Cherry Blossom, in 2005, and the Monocamoflauge.
