After discovering Murakami’s artwork at an exhibit at the Fondation Cartier in 2002, Jacobs approached the Japanese pop artist to reimagine Vuitton’s, created the pattern with the intention of fending off counterfeiters.
“When we saw the first prototypes, we were all very excited,” Jacobs told WWD in 2003. “But the reach of it, we had no idea. I love that we’re involved in the creation of something that almost seems historic.” For the label’s fall 2006 collection, Jacobs released a Multicolore fur muff that doubled as a fanny pack. Featuring silver python zipper trim, the ultra-rare piece has been worn by Amber Rose and Kim Kardashian.
Louis Vuitton closed out another Murakami-fueled banner year by wrapping the facade of its New York flagship in his Multicolore monogram print. The holiday display included the addition of a Peter Marino-designed “Bag Bar” inside the boutique, which was the only one of its kind to feature moving parts.
