Overview

The LV M13081 Venice Backpack is a refined expression of the Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami re-edition — a compact, wearable statement piece that fuses archival Monogram heritage with Murakami’s energetic palette. Meticulously constructed in coated canvas, this Venice backpack elevates everyday carry with scaled metallic details, natural leather accents, and a slim silhouette tailored for modern urban life.

Design and Collaboration

Part of the celebratory re-edition of the Louis Vuitton x Murakami collaboration, the Venice Backpack brings a vibrant reinterpretation of the iconic Monogram motif. Takashi Murakami’s signature multicolored treatment is applied across the coated Monogram canvas, offering an instantly recognizable and playful aesthetic that still reads as luxury. Scaled-up golden tuck locks provide a contemporary metallic contrast on the flap and two exterior pockets, reinforcing the bag’s designer provenance while adding practical security.

Materials and Construction

Quality and longevity are central to the LV M13081. The exterior uses Louis Vuitton’s durable coated canvas, prized for its resistance to everyday wear, while the slim shoulder straps are highlighted in natural cowhide leather to provide comfort and develop a tasteful patina over time. The combination of premium coatings, leather trim and robust hardware ensures the backpack performs as well as it looks.

Dimensions & Practicality

The Venice Backpack is intentionally compact for streamlined carry without sacrificing usefulness. Official dimensions: 24 x 26 x 7 cm (length x height x width). Despite its slender profile, the design accommodates essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys and small personal items, and the two outside pockets increase organizational options for items you need at hand.

Styling and Use

The Venice Backpack is versatile: its compact form makes it suitable for day-to-day commuting, gallery visits, or curated travel where minimal carry is preferred. The multicolored Monogram adds a focal point to otherwise muted outfits, while the natural cowhide and warm gold hardware pair well with contemporary neutrals and elevated streetwear alike. For a balanced look, pair the backpack with tailored outerwear or monochrome separates to let the Murakami palette remain the center of attention.

Care Recommendations

To preserve the appearance of the coated canvas, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture. For the natural cowhide straps, protect from rain and contact with oils or cosmetics; over time the leather will develop a patina characteristic of Louis Vuitton cowhide. For hardware, wipe with a dry, soft cloth to maintain the gold finish.
