The classic silhouettes of Louis Vuitton bags were kept the same bet the exterior was covered with polka dot patterns of different colors, as shown in this blue Speedy bag. If you look closely, you can see the LV monogram peeking through from underneath the polka dots.
The first Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama collaboration was so popular that in 2023, the designer brand and artist announced another collaboration! Again, many of the best-selling Louis Vuitton bags were covered in multicolored polka dots, and there were even installations celebrating the collaboration set up in stores all over the world.

The Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami collab is perhaps the best known and most popular collaboration. Japanese artist Takashi Murakami decided to reinvent the LV monogram by making it multicolored!
The collaboration first started in 2003 and the bags were so popular that the partnership did not end until 2015, which is when these Monogram Multicolore bags stopped being sold.
Monogram Multicolore bags were available in a black background or white background, like this stylish Mini Speedy bag. During the collaboration, Murakami also created the Monogramouflage bag and Cherry Blossom bags.
3. Louis Vuitton x Supreme

In recent years, Louis Vuitton collaborated with American street style brand, Supreme.
Supreme is known for skateboarding clothing and accessories and its target market is hip hop cultures, so the aesthetic of this collaboration was a little different from the usual Louis Vuitton style.
As you can see from the Christopher Backpack pictured above, many of the pieces in the collaboration were made from the textured Epi leather and then embossed with the Supreme brand name, for a subtle tonal finish. There are also small leather goods, jackets and jeans created in this collaboration.
4. Louis Vuitton x Grace Coddington

In 2018, Louis Vuitton collaborated with Grace Coddington, the former creative director at large of American Vogue.
During her time at Vogue, Coddington became known for bold and dramatic photoshoots, so this aesthetic inspired the Louis Vuitton collaboration. Grace Coddington worked alongside creative director Nicolas Ghesquière to create a range of clothes, shoes, and leather goods, including handbags.
The eccentricity of Coddington and Ghesquière has come together to create a capsule collection covered in animals! As you can see from this Catogram Neverfull tote bag, the LV monogram has been decorated with illustrations of cats, dogs, and mice to create a really playful design!
6. Louis Vuitton x Jeff Koons

Jeff Koons is a world-renowned artist, known for his unusual reproductions of common objects, just like the enormous mirrored stainless steel balloon animals that were exhibited in art galleries all over the world.
In the Jeff Koons collaboration with Louis Vuitton of 2017, Koons decided to take inspiration from some historic works of art and title the collab ‘Masters’. Classic Louis Vuitton handbags were decorated with enlarged sections of artworks by D Vinci, Rubens, Van Gogh, Fragonard, and Boucher, as seen on the Neverfull tote above.
The bag was then finished with the name of the artist in gleaming gold lettering and the Louis Vuitton and Jeff Koons logos.

Former Louis Vuitton menswear creative director, Virgil Abloh collaborated with Japanese designer and DJ Nigo to create an incredible collection of LV luxury bags.
The silhouette and style of the bags have stayed the same, so you will find the favorite Keepall and crossbody bags in the collection, but the prints and fabrics have been playing around with to create something new and original.
A drip design is incorporated into many of the leather goods, while denim has been used to bring new textures and colors to the traditional Louis Vuitton monogram. This stunning Keepall combines these elements, with navy taurillon leather to create a totally irresistible, and practical, weekend bag.
