The Malle Courrier Lozine 110 is an official collaboration trunk produced in 2023 by Louis Vuitton in collaboration with Yayoi Kusama — one of the most celebrated, widely exhibited, and globally recognized artists alive, and one of the most significant cultural and commercial partnerships in the history of luxury fashion. Inscribed "LOUIS VUITTON × YAYOI KUSAMA 2023" on the tag inside the trunk and presented with 2 keys and a display glass panel, this object represents a convergence of two of the most iconic and institutionally significant names in the history of art and luxury design.

Yayoi Kusama's collaboration with Louis Vuitton stands as one of the most celebrated and commercially extraordinary partnerships in the history of art and fashion — first realized in 2012 under the creative direction of Marc Jacobs, and revived with unprecedented ambition and global reach in 2023, the collaboration brought Kusama's iconic polka dot visual universe into direct and total dialogue with Louis Vuitton's legendary monogram and heritage of trunk-making, producing a body of objects of exceptional cultural resonance, collector desirability, and investment significance. The Malle Courrier — one of the most historically significant and architecturally commanding forms in Louis Vuitton's trunk-making tradition, a format that traces its lineage directly to the great courier trunks of the nineteenth century — provides the ideal vehicle for this convergence, the scale, material complexity, and artisanal heritage of the trunk elevating the collaboration beyond the merely commercial and into the domain of the genuinely collectible art object.

Constructed from wood, aluminum, polymer, leather, coated canvas, and metal — a combination of materials that reflects the full range of Louis Vuitton's artisanal expertise and material sophistication — and presented with a display glass panel that underscores its status as an object as much to be seen as used, the Malle Courrier Lozine 110 at 52 × 115 × 58 cm achieves a physical presence and visual authority of exceptional power. The inscription "LOUIS VUITTON × YAYOI KUSAMA 2023" on the interior tag provides a permanent and authoritative mark of the object's official collaboration provenance.
