Louis Vuitton 2006 Limited Edition Bucket Fringe M40109 White Multicolor Tote + Pouch Set | Rare Monogram Vernis Fringe Bag

THE FRINGE ODYSSEY

An Explosion of Color, Craft, and Collector’s Magic

Step into the vibrant world of mid-2000s Louis Vuitton—an era defined by bold experimentation, artistic collaborations, and runway fantasies that reshaped fashion history. This 2006 Spring/Summer Limited Edition Fringe Bucket Bag (M40109) stands as one of the most electrifying pieces ever released by the maison, capturing the imaginative spirit that collectors seek worldwide.

Crafted in White Monogram Multicolor Canvas, the silhouette erupts into radiant movement with cascading suede fringes dyed in violet, teal, sunflower yellow, ruby red, and ocean blue. Each strand is meticulously adorned with playful, multicolored beads—transforming the piece into a kinetic sculpture of texture, sound, and color. No two units ever aged alike; each fringe set develops its own rhythm, making this a deeply personal collectible.

The vachetta leather upper panel is designed with precision: polished gold studs, sculpted stitching, and buckle-secured straps that frame the bag like a piece of equestrian-inspired armor. Its matching mini pouch, also fully fringed and beaded, brings functional charm—ideal for coins, cards, or small necessities while preserving the full ensemble.

This piece is graded A condition, with expected gentle wear consistent with its age: light exterior rubs, slight vachetta patina, minor interior fuzzing, and bead aging. Still, the colors remain brilliant, the structure well-kept, and the fringe movement wonderfully lively—rare for a 2006 edition. Features include fully lined interior, open pocket, and adjustable handles with a 48–57 cm drop.

For the collector, this is not simply a bag—it is an artifact from the golden age of Takashi Murakami collaborations, Y2K fashion energy, and Louis Vuitton’s most iconic limited releases. A museum-worthy acquisition and a statement piece for the bold.
