Louis Vuitton Cruise 2018 Kabuki Bags: Kansai Yamamoto Collaboration Now Available

Louis Vuitton Debuts Cruise 2018 Kabuki Collection Early

Louis Vuitton has taken the lead in releasing next year’s Cruise collection, bringing the dramatic artistry of Japanese Kabuki theater directly into boutiques. The collection, first unveiled at the stunning Miho Museum near Kyoto, Japan, is now available for purchase ahead of the typical Cruise season.

The Kabuki Collaboration with Kansai Yamamoto

Among the most memorable pieces in the Cruise 2018 lineup are the accessories created with Japanese designer Kansai Yamamoto. The collaboration explores the Kabuki theme in two distinct ways. One approach is the Pochette Kabuki Bags, which are shaped like theatrical masks and make the motif the clear focal point. The other uses Kabuki-inspired appliqués on familiar Louis Vuitton bags such as the Neverfull and Speedy, offering a subtler option for those who want a more everyday interpretation of the collection.
