Vuitton’s latest work seamlessly intertwines creative collaborations with artists from the Dakota and Lakota Indigenous nations, resonating in sound and staging elements woven into the collection. The partnership extends to the renowned American bootmaker Timberland, adding an authentic layer to the narrative. Rooted in the “LVERS” community, this quest is a testament to Louis Vuitton’s commitment to exploration, creating a compelling homage that showcases the maison’s dedication to craftsmanship and the spirit of adventure.

Furthering the impact of Vuitton’s collaboration with Timberland, the collection introduces a series of American work boots reimagined through their creative lens. The limited-edition designs feature debossed Monogram details, genuine gold accents and XL soles. Also seen in the work is an homage to Indigenous accessories embroidered with symbolic motifs and hand-painted bags inspired by traditional artwork. Pharrell Williams introduces a new heat-molded handle bag, while shoes draw inspiration from the work boots centering an authentic cowboy aesthetic and Western flair. This iteration of designs refocuses Louis Vuitton’s dedication to pushing creative boundaries while honoring the rich heritage of the American West.
One thing’s for certain: we certainly look forward to the work Pharrell Williams will continue to bring to the Louis Vuitton brand.
