To celebrate the launch of Louis Vuitton x Murakami ‘re-edition’ collection, a number of colourful pop-ups have opened or about to open around Europe.

 

One of the pop-ups opened in London on the 9th January 2025 and will be there for visitors to enjoy until the 9th February 2025.

 

The pop-up is housed in a two-storey building in the heart of Soho, and it celebrates the ‘Monogram Multicolour’.

 

The pop-up takes inspiration form Tokyo capsule hotels while providing a whimsical futuristic atmosphere by shades of pink, blue and green colours, the colours of the original Louis Vuitton x Murakami collaboration.

The immersive pop-up encourages visitors to explore original pieces form the iconic collection, such as emblematic bags and leather accessories. The pop-up also gives visitors a chance to explore the re-edition collection through the lens of the artist.

 

To fit to the playful futuristic style, the staff is wearing a special, one-of-a-kind kimono-like white uniform with an ‘LV’ pin badge on the chest.

Bonus Point

What we really liked about this pop-up is that despite of the long queue, the staff don’t let it overcrowded. They let in a number of people at a time and make sure they let the same number of people as those who left the pop-up.

 

In this way, we had space to discover and enjoy the pop-up and didn’t have to wait much for our coffee and cakes upstairs. We had chairs and table to sit comfortably, take pictures and enjoy our treats.
