In 2026, the Maison embarks on a journey of exploration with 'Mythica', a new high jewelry collection that expresses the grand and personal odyssey of the Louis Vuitton Woman.

Inspired by the universal structures and elements inherent in myths, the new high jewelry collection 'Mythica' celebrates the Louis Vuitton Woman as both the heroine of her own story and its author. It's an iconic adventure through trials, revelations, and transformations, culminating in ultimate victory—a story of self-creation.

Comprising 11 themes and 110 pieces, this collection is adorned with the brilliance of exceptional gemstones and LV Monogram cut diamonds. Each chapter marks a significant step in the 'Mythica' narrative.

The adventure begins with 'Conquest', themed around the arrow motif, symbolizing direction and the power to move forward. The dynamism born from this leads to 'Totem', a protective emblem proudly worn by the heroine. The Maison's signature yellow and white gold, along with chevron motifs, embody an emblem that merges inherited symbolism with contemporary sophistication. 'Fortitude' depicts the heroine's courage and nobility through powerful lines and impactful stones, introducing zircon, a natural stone rarely seen in high jewelry.

'Enigma' encapsulates the mystery and secrets inherent in all myths within an enigmatic mesh woven from geometric codes and aquamarine. The mystery pervading the narrative is carried into 'Spell', characterized by radiant diamonds, bringing a new interpretation to high jewelry.

In 'Mesmerism', one of 'Mythica's' most important stones, a 17.18-carat Colombian emerald, takes center stage with its deep, rich green brilliance. The enchanting chapter 'Enchantment' transitions into 'Whisper', light as air, adorned with diamonds and sapphires, evoking celestial guidance and divine inspiration. The heroine is then naturally drawn to the night sky, where the evening star 'Sirius' illuminates her path.

As the journey nears its end, the final chapter concluding the heroine's odyssey, 'Fortune', is both a tangible abundance and a prize imbued with transcendent value. It is symbolized by golden-hued jewelry, and orange-tinged yellow and white diamonds. Following this, 'Triumph' celebrates resilient strength and rebirth through the flight of the phoenix and sculptural gold pieces set in Louis Vuitton's 'V' shape with exceptional craftsmanship. All the journeys thus far culminate in 'Victory', signifying triumph for the heroine. Works featuring a rich spectrum of colored diamonds, beautifully set in an intricate layering of white gold reminiscent of a magnificent laurel wreath, radiate a brilliance befitting collector's pieces, grandly adorning the finale.

The heroine's grand journey begins with 'Conquest', a dazzling flash that heralds the start of all journeys. The protagonist of this theme, which propels 'Mythica' forward with noble power, is the magnificent arrow motif. It is an iconic motif symbolizing the Maison, embodying the will to confront one's destiny and the certain direction that guides all myths. This powerful dynamism is expressed in a necklace adorned with 21 vibrant red rubies totaling 21.86 carats. Each ruby is framed by baguette-cut diamonds, and individual arrow motifs are outlined with onyx, creating further presence and contrast. The creation of the necklace, featuring a ruby and a 1.07-carat LV Monogram Star cut diamond at its center, required a total of 1,200 hours.
