Last week when the NYT released an image of the Monogramouflage Keepall 55 it caused a stir on the internet. Today, we present to you, officially, the highly anticipated limited edition Louis Vuitton x Murakami “Monogramouflage” Collection. I’ve been holding off on publishing images I saw around the web and eBay to present it in the best way.
The collection was first released on June 1st exclusively at the Brooklyn Museum Murakami Exhibition until June 15th when the first shipment to selected LV stores worldwide consisted of the denim Lys and Jasmine bags. The second shipment scheduled to release on July 1st are the Speedy 35, Keepall 55, Pegase 60, Treillis (denim), Ceinture (belt), iPhone Case and Passport Cover. The camouflage pattern is obtained through different fading into the denim material and the other bags and luggages are coated canvas. There’s also boots, sneakers and ready-to-wear but I don’t have images of those yet. The range departs on July 13th so cop it quick before its gone!
I’ve checked out the collection at the Murakami Exhibition and I have to admit it looks better in person! I personally luv the luggage pieces, Speedy 35, Treillis and Stole! Can you guess which celebrity rocked a Monogramouflage piece first? Peep the answer below…

Yup, the first celeb rockin’ the Monogramouflage Speedy 35 is one of my favorites ~ Rihanna! She was spotted at Da Silvano’s after having lunch in NYC on June 20th in a cute outfit: Elizabeth and James ‘Feather James Blazer’, Ray-Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses
, Lame’ Leggings (Kova & T or American Apparel) and Manolo Blahnik ‘Pepe’ Sandals. She’s so fab!
i’m sorry but that pattern is foul
Posted By: Yeni | June 24th, 2008 at 12:27 pmon some pieces it looks O.K. but others.. noo
although i can see why some people might like it =/
i have to agree with yeni. maybe if it were a bit more subtle? or have at least more than 2 colors like normal camo
Posted By: nelly | June 24th, 2008 at 12:54 pmplease. that pattern is classic and beautifully done here. any more colors and it would look close to vomit. i love it as it is.
Posted By: pb | June 24th, 2008 at 3:50 pmThese pieces scream out “I’m trying too hard.” No offense to the people that love this pattern, but camo hasn’t been ill for a LONG time.

Posted By: edi | June 26th, 2008 at 10:22 pmGreat news. What do you mean by “the range will depart on July 13th”. I know it launches on July 1 but is there a sell by date? What happens after the 13th? TIA.
Posted By: mg | July 1st, 2008 at 3:25 ammg ~ its only available until july 13th after that the collection is one, hope that clarifies.
Posted By: retrogurl | July 1st, 2008 at 10:45 amI think this monogramouflage is a really HOT bag!! you wonder who would want to carry this bag!! I would, my son serves in the US Army for the 12 past years and as far as I am concerned anything with Army makes me proud to carry it or wear it!!
Posted By: usasancha | October 4th, 2008 at 11:56 pmI bought my wife both Monogramouflage Speedy 35 and Jasmine this year. Just curious as to how many were made in both styles. Please advise. Thank you.
