Louis Vuitton × Takashi Murakami Petit Panda, colgante de peluche para correa, obsequio de Omotesando, 2009

Made as a novelty for Louis Vuitton's Omotesando flagship in 2009, this Petit Panda strap charm shows the playful, intimate side of the Takashi Murakami partnership. Never part of standard retail, it is a place-and-time object from the collaboration, offered in rank A condition with its original box and special paper case.

The Piece

Petit Panda, the baby panda of the Murakami-era Vuitton universe, sits outside the principal cast of Mr. DOB and Kaikai and Kiki, and fewer objects carry the character. This charm renders him in soft polyester plush with multicolor accents, Murakami's floral motifs worked into the panda's features.

The plush brings a tactile, almost toy-like warmth to a house better known for structured leather, while the metal hook and strap system keep it a Vuitton accessory. The result feels intimate rather than formal.

Produced in limited quantities for distribution through the Omotesando flagship, the charm was a non-retail novelty with limited circulation. Such pieces were seldom publicized at release and are now harder to find than many of the main products, and their tie to a specific store, year and event gives them their own narrative. It appeals to collectors completing a Murakami Vuitton archive and to those who seek its less conventional objects.
