The highly anticipated Louis Vuitton x Timberland collaboration has officially launched. First unveiled at Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 2024 runway show during Paris Fashion Week in January, this unique partnership exemplifies the fusion of luxury and streetwear.
The collection centres around Louis Vuitton’s reinterpretation of the iconic Original Timberland® Boot. Crafted in Fiesso, Italy, at Louis Vuitton’s renowned shoe atelier, this collaboration offers two distinct designs and several adaptations of Timberland’s classic work boot. Each boot is made from premium supple Italian nubuck leather, featuring PrimaLoft insulation and a seam-sealed waterproof construction. The signature Timberland rubber lug outsole remains a staple, ensuring durability and practicality.
Design Details:
• Available in traditional wheat colour or black
• Monogram-embossed tongue lining and leather tag adornments
• LV 6-inch boots feature an elegant LV Monogram embossment visible up close
In addition to the standard collection, Louis Vuitton has released a limited edition LV 6-inch ankle boot. This exceptional piece is a collaborative effort between Louis Vuitton’s shoe, jewellery, and hard-sided experts. Crafted from Classic Monogram premium supple waterproof Italian leather, the boot features bespoke 18K gold tongue initials, eyelets, lace tips, and tag hardware. The initials inscribed with “THE SUN IS SHINING ON US” reflect a sentiment expressed by Men’s Creative Director Pharrell Williams during his debut show for Louis Vuitton in June 2023. This masterpiece is presented in a bespoke Monogram leather and plexiglass shoebox with VVN trims.
The capsule collection is part of a broader workwear-themed release from Louis Vuitton, designed by Pharrell Williams. This collection includes ready-to-wear items that blend the authentic workwear codes with Louis Vuitton’s intricate craftsmanship. The ready-to-wear pieces emphasize versatility, combining durability and refinement with sophisticated silhouettes in tones of brown, black, and beige. Notable items include trucker jackets and coats with turquoise-like buttons, pearls, embroideries, and studs.
Additionally, the collection introduces the Keepall 50 Toolbox, a utility-inspired interpretation of Louis Vuitton’s emblematic bag, crafted in natural leather with multiple exterior pockets and rivets, and lined in coated Monogram Canvas. Accessories such as a flask and cigarette case in steel and a silk scarf are also part of this collection.
