Louis Vuitton × Yayoi Kusama Pumpkin Bag Silver Multicolor M21761 | Rare LV × YK Collector Shoulder Bag Unused Condition

LOUIS VUITTON × YAYOI KUSAMA

Pumpkin Shoulder Bag – M21761 – Silver Multicolor Monogram

Some pieces enter the market as accessories — and others arrive as works of art, destined to live in collections, museums, and future auction catalogues. This Louis Vuitton × Yayoi Kusama Pumpkin Shoulder Bag belongs firmly to the second category: a sculptural object born from the collision of Parisian luxury craft and one of the most influential contemporary artists of our time.

✨ FULL DESCRIPTION

This exceptionally rare LV × Yayoi Kusama Pumpkin Shoulder Bag (M21761) captures the essence of Kusama’s visual language — repetition, joy, and the poetic rhythm of “infinity” — reimagined through Louis Vuitton’s master-crafted Monogram leather. Sculpted into a rounded gourd silhouette, this piece stands apart as one of the most iconic forms in the LV × YK universe.

The textured silver Monogram leather, embossed with LV's signature fleurs and overprinted with multicolor motifs, transforms the pumpkin into an object that feels alive and luminous. Instead of a conventional top opening, LV engineered a Kusama-inspired “stem” clasp, finished in matching multicolor enamel. This detail alone places the piece in the realm of collectible design objects — inventive, sculptural, and unmistakably Kusama.

Upon closer inspection, the craftsmanship becomes even more impressive: perfectly structured pleating, precise panel construction, and a silhouette that holds its form like a sculpted art piece. The silver-tone hardware echoes contemporary gallery aesthetics, making this bag as suitable for display as it is for wear. The detachable chain strap also allows it to shift seamlessly between crossbody art statement and display centerpiece.

As part of the second global LV × Kusama collaboration — a release celebrated by museums, collectors, and luxury investors — this pumpkin design has become one of the most sought-after icons of the entire series. Its rarity, sculptural form, and instantly recognizable Kusama identity ensure that it will remain a key acquisition in any high-level Vuitton or contemporary art collection.

This particular piece is “unused” condition, an almost unheard-of find at this tier. With original box, dust bag, and shoulder strap, it is positioned not only as a collector’s item but a future appreciating asset. For serious collectors of Louis Vuitton art collaborations, Kusama works, or sculptural handbags, this is a defining piece — an opportunity that rarely appears on the secondary market in this state.

🖼️ ART & CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE

Yayoi Kusama’s pumpkins represent comfort, nostalgia, and emotional warmth — recurring symbols throughout her artistic life. Louis Vuitton elevates these themes into couture craftsmanship, forming a wearable sculpture that bridges art galleries and the world of luxury fashion. The silver multicolor version is especially notable, as it directly reflects the playful, radiant side of Kusama’s philosophy: joy, repetition, and the beauty of infinity.
