Description:
A Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami Cherry Blossom Pochette Bag. Features monogram coated canvas exterior with cherry blossom print, vachetta leather accents with metal studs and bow feature and a singular leather top handle. Zip top opens to beige alcantra lined interior with single compartment. Gold tone hardware. Bag dimensions 21 x 13 cm. Handle drop 14 cm. Date code AR0023. Production period February 2003. Box and dustbag. Takashi Murakami's work is punctuated with repeated motifs, from trademark characters to prints which have become a hallmark of his work. One of the latter is his cherry blossom flower emblem, which represents Murakami's Japanese heritage and resembles the kawaii pop art style which he has championed. The Cherry Blossom collection intertwined the LV monogram print with the flower design, and then adorned a selection of Louis Vuitton's most classic bags styles.
