Louis Vuitton goes kawaii (again) with the new Takashi Murakami line, featuring Chibi Kinoko character

Last week I wrote how kawaii companies went Louis Vuitton by releasing a bunch of merchandise that heavily reminds shoppers of the iconic LV canvas bags and accessories. This week it’s Louis Vuitton going kawaii (yet again).
I just love Louis Vuitton’s new line. The Purse Blog reports that it’s a fresh collaboration between Marc Jacobs and contemporary Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, who was behind the ultra successful Multicolore, and the lovely Cerises, Panda and Cherry Blossoms lines.

Chibi Kinoko is the adorable little mushroom manga character that appears on the new line’s handbags and agendas. By the way, mushrooms with human attributes are Murakami’s signature characters.
According to the Purse Blog, the limited edition bags and accessories collection is available for sale at Takashi’s exhibition at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Arts.
