Louis Vuitton has unveiled its 'High Summer' collection.
In 2026, the arrival of the full summer season. Louis Vuitton's 'High Summer' capsule collection embodies the exhilaration, joy, and liberating lifestyle of travel. This light-hearted, cheerful, and sophisticated ready-to-wear collection effortlessly enhances every occasion—from tennis courts and seaside strolls to cocktail parties with friends.
This beautifully harmonized new wardrobe captures the natural, fresh spirit of raffia through refined trompe-l'œil effects. The elegant long skirt, adorned with delicate ladder-stitch detailing, is crafted in crochet-style knit using cotton ribbon, offering a light drape and comfortable feel perfect for summer.
The natural beauty of raffia is also reflected in an elegant tweed jacket finished with white piping and a matching wrap mini skirt embroidered with the Maison’s signature. Furthermore, the essence is expressed in the original floral motifs that adorn the collection’s T-shirts.
This season’s must-have pieces embrace a relaxed feminine mood, featuring a poplin dress with intricate details and an A-line jersey skirt with intersecting piping decorated with the Maison’s iconic Monogram pattern, creating striking graphic silhouettes.
The Maison’s signature ultra-light denim makes a much-anticipated return, presented in the refined 'Flower Minigram' design. Inspired by miniature Monogram flowers, this motif adds timeless charm to peplum tops, scalloped shorts, and zip-up windbreakers.
The sporty-chic 'Baby Stripe' series blends the freshness of striped jersey, casual silhouettes, and refined details. It includes a cropped T-shirt with crystal-like buttons and mini shorts embroidered with silver-tone signatures. These pieces can be paired with a navy terry cloth jacket or an elegant white Monogram jacquard polo shirt to complete a sophisticated look.
The crocheted bucket hat, a summer staple, features bold black graphic stripes, adding casual elegance and warm craftsmanship to the fresh, natural 'High Summer' silhouette.
The 'Promenade Parisienne' scarf pays homage to the City of Light, Paris, with reversible silk depicting sketched cityscapes. The color palette includes vibrant pink and tangerine orange, sand beige and terracotta brown, as well as navy and denim blue. Available in 90cm and 70cm sizes, it offers versatile styling throughout the day—worn around the neck, styled in hair, as a beach bandeau top, or crossed at the back for a halter-neck effect.
The collection’s bags exude lightness and elegance. The 'Capucines' in mint, rose fuchsia, or iris lilac leather features the signature chain and floral 'Flowergram' design. The 'Lowkey Hobo' uses canvas with yellow-and-blue deckchair-style stripes. The 'Side Trunk' is crafted from patchwork of grained leather and Monogram canvas. From the 'LV Crafty' capsule, the 'Nano Speedy' features Monogram Denim canvas with a leather marquetry charm, blending masterful craftsmanship with playful design.
The 'Capucines' also represents the Maison’s most refined craftsmanship. The hand-embroidered 'Barcelona City Tour' version is a unique piece paying tribute to the colorful mosaics of Park Güell. Meanwhile, the 'Capucines Wild Rose' celebrates delicacy and femininity with tulle flowers embellished with glitter and sequins.
Finally, the 'Louis Boat Trunk,' a true miniature art piece for collectors, commemorates the first anniversary of 'The Louis,' a grand architectural vessel inspired by a luxury cruise ship docked in central Shanghai, housing a boutique, café, and exhibition space. Crafted from canvas, leather, and wood, and finished with a silver-tone LV anchor, this design fuses the Maison’s heritage of 'the spirit of travel' with exceptional savoir-faire. Its intricate opening mechanism reveals a hidden compartment—lifting the anchor raises the deck, revealing space to store watches, rings, and small accessories.
Designed to be neatly packed into suitcases for peak summer travel, the 'High Summer' collection is now available at all Louis Vuitton stores.
