Louis Vuitton × Takashi Murakami Multicolor Ursula M40124 Black Bag | LV Rare Collector Monogram Multicolor

Eternal Icons of Japonisme Luxury

LOUIS VUITTON × TAKASHI MURAKAMI

Multicolor “Ursula” M40124 – Black
A masterpiece where Parisian craftsmanship meets Japanese pop-art brilliance.

Bold, sculptural, and unmistakably playful — the Louis Vuitton × Takashi Murakami Multicolor Ursula M40124 stands as one of the most celebrated designs from the Murakami era. Released during the golden age of LV’s artistic collaborations, this handbag merges the Monogram Multicolor canvas with a dramatic, architectural silhouette crafted in full leather and gold hardware. No other bag captures the early-2000s LV luxury mood quite like the Ursula.

The Multicolor line has become a cultural artifact: a symbol of luxury’s leap into pop-art, street fashion, and global celebrity appeal. On the Ursula, the dynamic black canvas acts as a stage for Murakami’s 33-color monogram palette — bright, expressive, and full of character. Combined with the structured folds, oversized grommets, and the signature golden clasp, the bag becomes both a functional accessory and a sculptural statement.

This particular Ursula is preserved in excellent, near-unused condition, extremely rare for a model from 2005–2010. The vachetta leather remains clean with an even honey patina, showing only minimal handling marks expected from age. The gold hardware retains brilliance, with crisp LV engravings. The interior lining is equally clean, maintaining the integrity of a collector-grade piece.

The Ursula is admired by collectors not only for its rarity but also for its versatility. Its medium-large silhouette accommodates daily essentials while retaining a bold high-fashion profile. Whether displayed, used as a rotation centerpiece, or preserved as an investment collectible, this bag consistently appreciates in desirability.

Pieces from the Murakami × LV era, especially in black Multicolor, continue to set record resale values worldwide. For serious Murakami-era collectors, this Ursula is a keystone addition — iconic, museum-worthy, and increasingly difficult to find in such preserved condition.
