When it comes to Louis Vuitton collaborations, let’s get one thing straight: these aren’t just bags—they’re collectible pieces of art, the ultimate flex, and sometimes, even better investments than stocks. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just dipping your toes into the world of high-end bags, LV collabs are where fashion meets cultural icons, and do they deliver!
Today, we’re diving into the crème de la crème of Louis Vuitton’s collaborative history. Ready to find out which ones topped the charts?
The Top-Selling Louis Vuitton Collaborations of All Time
Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami
Of course!
The moment Murakami brought his vibrant, pop-art flair to LV in 2003, it was game over (in the best way). From the iconic Multicolor Monogram to those adorable cherry blossoms, this collection redefined playful luxury.
Over 15 years in production, the Multicolor line alone reportedly sold over $300 million worth of merchandise, cementing its place as one of the brand’s most successful ventures. From Speedy bags to wallets, these pieces were everywhere, turning Murakami’s designs into global icons
When I worked in Japan selling secondhand luxury bags, Multicolor Noir pieces from this collaboration were like unicorns—hard to find and incredibly sought after by collectors. And here’s the best news: LV and Murakami are teaming up again for a comeback collab next year! We can’t wait to see how they reinvent the magic.
Louis Vuitton x Stephen Sprouse
Graffiti on luxury bags? Groundbreaking. In 2001, LV teamed up with artist Stephen Sprouse for a bold, rebellious collection featuring his neon graffiti sprawled over the classic Monogram canvas. It was edgy, it was unexpected, and it was a runaway hit.
The standout: The Graffiti Keepall—a head-turner that screamed “I don’t follow trends; I set them.” And when the Roses and Graffiti collections made a comeback in 2009? Pure gold!!
Louis Vuitton x Supreme
When Louis Vuitton teamed up with streetwear giant Supreme in 2017, the fashion world collectively lost its mind. This collab wasn’t just a moment—it was the moment. By blending LV’s timeless luxury with Supreme’s edgy streetwear aesthetic, the collection appealed to everyone, from high-fashion enthusiasts to sneakerheads. While exact sales numbers are not publicly disclosed, the collection generated an estimated $100 million in revenue.
The range featured bags, trunks, clothing, and even accessories like skateboards and phone cases, all stamped with Supreme’s iconic red and white logo alongside Louis Vuitton’s Monogram canvas. Fan favorites like the Red Monogram Keepall, the Bumbag, and the Box Logo hoodie flew off shelves faster than you could say “hype.”
And let’s not forget: this was Louis Vuitton’s most profitable collaboration to date. The sheer demand turned every item into a grail, commanding jaw-dropping resale prices in the secondary market. From a business perspective, it was a masterstroke, proving that a luxury brand could thrive in the streetwear space without losing its identity.
This collab didn’t just make history—it set a new standard for how high fashion and urban culture could collide in a way that feels both fresh and iconic. If you managed to snag a piece, congratulations—you’re holding onto a cultural phenomenon that’s still influencing fashion today.
Louis Vuitton x Supreme collabs
Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama
Polka dots, but make them iconic. The 2012 collab with Yayoi Kusama brought the legendary artist’s playful yet meticulous dot patterns to life on LV’s timeless silhouettes. Kusama’s bold designs helped generate over $250 million in sales globally, making it one of the brand’s most commercially successful partnerships.
My personal favorites? The vernis small SLGs with polka dots. There’s something about the glossy texture paired with Kusama’s dots that feels so luxe yet fun.
The partnership didn’t end there! In 2023, Louis Vuitton and Kusama reunited for a second collaboration, expanding the artist’s creative touch. This time, Kusama’s dots shared the stage with her pumpkin motifs and hypnotic infinity nets, taking the collection to a whole new level. Whether you loved the metallic dotted Keepalls or the playful pumpkin-inspired pochettes, this collab proved that lightning can strike twice in the fashion world.
For me, both Kusama collabs are perfect examples of how Louis Vuitton bridges the gap between art and fashion, creating pieces that are as much about personal expression as they are about luxury.
Louis Vuitton x Richard Prince
LV’s 2008 collection with artist Richard Prince brought a painterly, dream-like quality to their bags. Think muted tones, layered text, and a “what-does-it-all-mean” kind of vibe.
The standout piece: The Watercolor Speedy. Soft, dreamy, and effortlessly chic, it’s a collector’s dream and a masterclass in wearable art.
Why These Collabs Reign Supreme
Each of these collaborations brought something fresh and unexpected to Louis Vuitton’s heritage. They aren’t just about bags; they’re about making statements, telling stories, and keeping LV ahead of the fashion curve.
If you’re looking to add one of these beauties to your collection, don’t sleep on the pre-loved market. These pieces often hold—or even increase—their value.
