Louis Vuitton is taking one of the world’s most iconic traveling art shows to the boutiques in its second partnership with Japanese pop artist Yayoi Kusama.
In the upcoming array, Louis Vuitton bags both classic and new come patterned in 2D and 3D interpretations of Kusama’s “obsessive dots,” similar to those seen in the acclaimed Infinity Mirror Rooms.
Some of the spotted designs were spotted on the runway of Louis Vuitton’s 2023 Cruise Fashion Show at the Salk Institute in San Diego on May 12, including rainbow polka-dotted clutches shaped like a book and LV Twist and bucket bags with metallic silver studs.

This Yayoi Kusama chapter arrives a decade after a previous Louis Vuitton collaboration helmed by former creative director Marc Jacobs. The 2022 Yayoi Kusama edition is spearheaded by Jacobs’ successor, Nicolas GhesquieÌre.
