Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami Re-Release: Vintage Meets Modernity

The Legacy of the Murakami Collection

Louis Vuitton is making waves this month with the re-release of its iconic collaboration with Takashi Murakami. Originally launched in the early 2000s, the vibrant, multicolored collection revolutionized luxury fashion—blending Murakami’s artistic vision with Louis Vuitton’s timeless monogram.

Featuring bold reinterpretations like the Multicolore Monogram, Cherry Blossom, and Panda designs, the collection became an instant classic. Today, these pieces are some of the most sought-after items in vintage luxury. The 2025 re-release honors this legacy by combining Murakami’s art with modern craftsmanship—offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of fashion history. But just like any other coveted luxury drop that takes over TikTok, the immense popularity of these bags has fueled a rise in counterfeits.

The Entrupy community understands that with greater hype comes greater responsibility. Ensuring every bag is 100% authentic is more essential than ever. And that’s why we’re here.

Entrupy: The GOAT in Vintage Authentication

Entrupy’s AI-powered authentication solution is a necessary tool for anyone buying or selling vintage luxury items. Think of us as an authentication team in your pocket. Except Entrupy doesn’t have biases, opinions, or off days. Every decision is rooted in data.

Why is Murakami's design so vulnerable to counterfeiting?

The intricate, colorful designs stand out in a sea of brown, black, and navy bags, making them true statement pieces—and prime targets for counterfeits. Entrupy’s advanced AI can detect even the slightest discrepancies, like a pastel hue that’s subtly off or a flower that’s slightly misshapen. These details might escape the human eye but are instantly picked up by our tech.

How does Entrupy save time for buyers and sellers?

Whether you’re selling vintage Murakami pieces to capitalize on the peak hype or hunting the secondary market for gems from the new collection, fast and accurate authentication is a must. Entrupy’s AI provides results in under a minute, empowering you to make smarter decisions with confidence. No delays, no guesswork.

Can Entrupy authenticate Murakami pieces internationally?

Absolutely. Shop online or source gems from boutiques and pawn shops IRL. We have a community of Entrupy Verified Businesses to ensure authenticity worldwide. You’ll know it’s the real deal whether you’re in San Francisco or Singapore.

Total flex in action! Entrupy Verified Business, Foreign Objects, shows us how they authenticate their vintage Murakami pieces. And we’re jealous we don’t already have some in our collection.
