Two decades after their first collaboration shook up the luxury fashion scene, Louis Vuitton and Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami continue to redefine artistic innovation with Drop 3: Cherry. The newest addition to the Louis Vuitton x Murakami re-edition collection is a joyous, feminine, and collectable celebration of the cherry blossom motif — an icon in both Murakami’s archive and early 2000s fashion history.

Leading this chapter is Zendaya, who perfectly captures the blend of playful charm and refined elegance that defines the drop. With her modern grace and captivating presence, she brings Murakami’s whimsical yet vivid world to life, embodying the dreamy essence at the heart of the collection.

A celebration of whimsy, femininity, and iconic craftsmanship

In true Louis Vuitton fashion, Drop 3 doesn’t just revisit history — it reinterprets it. Across a curated selection of City Bags, accessories, footwear, and perfumes, Murakami’s cherry blossoms bloom in transcendent colourways. Among the highlights are designs that update the beloved Papillon Bags with the cherry blossom print and elevated detailing, bringing a playful twist to a classic silhouette. 

Beautifully worked Capucines bags also make a return, this time embellished with cheerful blossoms, while the show-stopping Courrier Lozine 110 Fleurs trunk stands out as a true collector’s item, combining artistry and craftsmanship.

The collection also features a range of perfumes, including the whimsical Superflat Garden, presented in a sleek cylindrical bottle. Decorated with delicate floral motifs, the design captures the dreamy, imaginative essence of Murakami’s artistic universe.

Rounding off the collection are standout accessories like the Superflat Panda keyring, which also reappears in Drop 3, continuing the playful spirit that has defined this entire re-edition.

More than just another drop

Murakami’s bold, kawaii-infused aesthetic, combined with Louis Vuitton’s mastery of leatherwork and visual storytelling, continues to resonate with both collectors and new-gen luxury lovers.

The Drop 3: Cherry capsule is not just a nostalgic revival — it is a reawakening. Advances in technology allow for enhanced colour saturation and detail, meaning every cherry blossom looks as if it’s been hand-plucked from a dream. 

It’s no wonder the Louis Vuitton x Murakami collaboration remains one of the most beloved in the fashion house’s modern history. With Zendaya as its radiant ambassador, this chapter promises to be one of the most collectable and talked-about yet.
