Takashi Murakami's 2008 Monogramouflage sets the two against each other on a Speedy 35, olive, khaki and forest green over the LV pattern, cut by black webbing bands. This vintage example has honest patina and keeps its padlock, key and name tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTakashi Murakami's partnership with Louis Vuitton changed the course of luxury collaboration because he kept reinterpreting the house's own codes: Multicolore, Cherry Blossom, Panda, Cerises, character graphics and Superflat flowers. Monogramouflage, introduced in 2008, is his most utilitarian departure. Instead of brightening the Monogram, he partly conceals it inside an irregular camouflage field, a darker and more militaristic mood than most of his Louis Vuitton work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlive, khaki, sand beige, dark forest green and brown move across the familiar LV initials and Monogram Flowers. From a distance the bag reads as camouflage; at closer range the pattern resurfaces, and neither system quite wins. Two vertical black textile bands run down front and back, recalling military straps, webbing and field bags, and divide the irregular field graphically. Because the camouflage tones sit close to the traditional Monogram ground, the blend is subtler than on Murakami's saturated collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is the Speedy 35: rounded Boston silhouette, dual rolled natural cowhide handles with leather chapes, zip-top closure, gold-tone hardware, padlock system and a large single compartment with an interior pocket. On this example the vachetta has developed a warm, darkened patina that suits the earthy palette and reinforces the bag's field-equipment character, and it remains a fully functional Speedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Louis Vuitton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speedy 35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e M95773\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Louis Vuitton × Takashi Murakami, Monogramouflage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monogramouflage coated canvas; black textile webbing bands; natural cowhide leather trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Olive, khaki, beige and dark green camouflage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Width 35 cm (13.8 in) · Height 23 cm (9.1 in) · Depth 18 cm (7.1 in) · Handle rise approx. 8.5 cm (3.3 in); published references approx. 35.5–36 × 23–23.5 × 19 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 607 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Padlock, key, name tag (with initials)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zip top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate code:\u003c\/strong\u003e AA3008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood usable vintage condition with visible chronology, not a near-unused example.
