Fashion · 27 October 2026

Keith Haring’s iconic works make a vibrant splash onto the Capucines silhouette through the Louis Vuitton Artycapucines collection.

A blank canvas for endless possibilities, the Louis Vuitton Artycapucines collection enters its latest chapter with the iconic Keith Haring. With a collection that captures the spirit of Haring’s joyful artistry, the collection translates his signature work across 13 exceptional Capucines creations.

Since the inaugural launch of the Artycapucines collection in 2019, the Capucines bag—named after the historic Rue Neuve-des-Capucines—has become a canvas for over 35 contemporary artists. In its eighth chapter, the legacy of Haring, whose known for his electric street art movement, comes alive through Louis Vuitton’s unparalleled savoir-faire.

Developed together with the Keith Haring Foundation, the collection extends the inspired dialogue initiated by Nicolas Ghesquière’s Cruise 2027 womenswear collection. As a tribute to Haring’s celebrated oeuvre—’Running Heart’, ‘Radiant Baby’, dancing figures and lively graphics—each piece in the collection interprets the artist’s visual language as a celebration of his mastery. With techniques ranging from leather marquetry to laser printing, the Maison’s workshops have reimagined the artist’s designs on a myriad of Capucines handbags.

Standout pieces include the Capucines Nano Running Heart, a miniaudiere crafted from silver-tone metal and embellished with over 12,000 hand-set strass, embodying Haring’s iconic messages of love and compassion. The Capucines East-West Mini Maze features intricate beadwork and needlework techniques, bringing Haring’s hypnotic designs to life. Meanwhile, the richly patinated Capucines MM Genesis pays homage to a custom suitcase hand-painted by the artist himself in 1984.

From the Capucines Mini Symbols, adorned with jewellery-inspired decorative charms, to the vibrant Capucines BB Figures showcasing Haring’s joyful characters against the pristine white Taurillon leather, every bag tells a tale of innovation. Together, they encapsulate the essence of a Louis Vuitton woman—fearless and beautifully expressive.

With over 50 distinctive designs by celebrated artists—such as Takashi Murakami, Zhao Zhao, Urs Fischer and more—worldwide, the Artycapucines collection reaffirms the Maison’s commitment to artistic collaboration. Or as we’d like to call it, a celebration of the dialogue between fashion, art and craftsmanship.

Selected Keith Haring Artycapucines will be presented at Art Basel Paris. The Keith Haring Artycapucines Collection will be released as limited editions in Louis Vuitton stores worldwide starting 1 January 2027.
