Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami Characters Hair Barrette Set M92595, Panda, Onion Head, Flower Hatman

Three enamelled gold-tone hair barrettes in the shapes of Takashi Murakami’s Panda, Onion Head and Flower Hatman characters.

The Piece

Takashi Murakami’s collaboration with Louis Vuitton, begun under Marc Jacobs in 2003, scattered his flowers, cherries and characters across the house’s Monogram and made it one of the defining partnerships of the decade. Panda, Onion Head and Flower Hatman were among the characters he drew for the house, and here each becomes a hair barrette in coloured enamel on gold-tone metal.

Each clip is engraved Louis Vuitton Paris on the back. The set is described in Japan as unused, with slight marks and some sunning. No accessories are described; the presentation box in the first photograph is not confirmed as included, so please ask before purchase.

The Onion Head is 5.5 cm high, the Flower Hatman 5 cm and the Panda 4.8 cm, each in enamelled metal on gold tone. Worn together or apart, the three make a small, bright set for the hair.
