Louis Vuitton has never treated trunks like simple luggage. For the Maison, the trunk has always been part travel case, part design object and part status symbol. With the LV x TM Music Trunk, that legacy gets filtered through vinyl culture, Takashi Murakami nostalgia and the kind of collector-level luxury that feels built for a private listening room.

Priced at $63,500, the Louis Vuitton LV x TM Music Trunk is not trying to be subtle. It is a functional storage piece, but the real story is how it turns music collecting into an interior design flex. This is not a crate in the corner or a basic console under a turntable. It is a full Louis Vuitton trunk designed to house a turntable, vinyl records, books or other prized pieces while bringing the Maison’s hardsided trunkmaking energy into the home.

A Music Trunk With Serious Collector Energy

The LV x TM Music Trunk is made from Monogram Multicolore coated canvas, the rainbow Monogram created by Takashi Murakami for Louis Vuitton in 2003. That detail matters because Monogram Multicolore is not just another print. It is one of the most recognizable fashion-meets-art moments of the early 2000s, tied to an era when luxury, pop culture and celebrity style started speaking the same language.

Louis Vuitton brings that visual history back here in a format that feels more grown-up than a handbag drop. The Music Trunk measures 22.8 x 28.7 x 23.6 inches, giving it the presence of a serious furniture piece rather than an accessory. It features a top compartment for a turntable, lower compartments for records, a drawer, a front opening and a lock closure. The build is finished with cowhide-leather trim, microfiber lining and golden-brass hardware.

That combination gives it a strong design lane. It can sit in a listening room, library, lounge, office or living space and immediately become the object people ask about. It is part storage, part sculpture and part conversation starter.

Takashi Murakami Nostalgia Meets Louis Vuitton Trunkmaking

The Murakami connection gives this piece its soul. Monogram Multicolore still carries a very specific type of nostalgia. It brings back the early 2000s moment when Louis Vuitton, under Marc Jacobs, opened the door wider for artists to reshape house codes. Murakami’s rainbow Monogram made LV feel younger, louder and more plugged into pop culture without losing the heritage underneath.

That is why this trunk works so well. It does not feel like a random novelty piece. It connects Louis Vuitton’s trunkmaking foundation to a print that already has collector weight. The result is a home object that speaks to fashion history, art collecting and music taste at the same time.

There is also something smart about using the Music Trunk as the canvas. Vinyl has become more than a music format again. For a certain buyer, records are now part of a room’s identity. They show taste, patience and physical connection in a world where most music lives on a phone. Louis Vuitton takes that idea and pushes it into full luxury territory.

Built For The Listening Room, Not The Closet

The best part about the Louis Vuitton LV x TM Music Trunk is that it does not need to be worn to be seen. This is luxury designed for the home. It is the kind of piece that can anchor a room the same way a serious coffee table book, sculptural chair or statement bar cart can.

For the right collector, the appeal is not only the storage. It is the ritual. Opening the trunk, pulling a record, setting it on the turntable and letting the piece become part of the listening experience gives it more romance than a standard display object. It makes music feel slower, more intentional and more cinematic.

Of course, the price puts it in rare air. At $63,500, this is not for someone simply looking to organize a record collection. This is for the collector who wants the storage itself to carry the same weight as the records inside it. It is for the Louis Vuitton loyalist, the Murakami fan, the vinyl obsessive and the interiors person who wants a piece that can sit at the intersection of all three.

The Verdict

The Louis Vuitton LV x TM Music Trunk is excessive in the best possible way. It takes vinyl storage, wraps it in one of the most nostalgic Louis Vuitton art collaborations ever, and turns it into a collectible home object.

It is colorful, expensive, functional and deeply specific. That is also what makes it interesting. In a world full of quiet luxury, this trunk is not trying to whisper. It is a statement piece for people who see music, design and fashion history as part of the same lifestyle.
