Louis Vuitton is collaborating with footwear brand Timberland to launch a new workwear collection on Aug 8 this year.
Exploring the American Western roots of workwear through the lens of Louis Vuitton’s craftsmanship, the ready-to-wear collection showcases yokes and leather appliqué motifs from Western wardrobes on the pockets of trucker jackets and coats. Designed with sculpturally voluminous cuts true to the functional lines of American workwear, the collection features turquoise-like buttons, along with pearls, embroideries, and studs.
A unique feature of the collection is the Keepall 50 Toolbox, which offers a utility-inspired take on Louis Vuitton’s emblematic bag. Lined in coated Monogram Canvas, the bag features multiple exterior pockets and rivets. The capsule also includes a steel flask and cigarette case with engravings inspired by American West work boots, and a silk scarf honoring this timeless accessory.
The capsule collection introduces the first-ever workwear boot collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Timberland. The LV 6-Inch boot launches in two designs and several adaptations, crafted from premium supple Italian nubuck leather with insulation and seam-sealed waterproof construction. The boot features a signature rubber lug outsole, elegant LV Monogram embossments, Monogram-embossed tongue linings, Louis Vuitton eyelets, and leather tags in traditional wheat color or black.
The collaboration also includes an ankle boot, a ranger boot with an elongated shaft and strap details, a pull-on mid boot with bag puller details and brown leather ankle cuffs, and a pull-on harness boot with side buckles and a harness.
As an exclusive, Louis Vuitton will launch fifty editions of the highly exceptional LV 6-inch ankle boot. Featuring Classic Monogram premium supple waterproof Italian leather on a bespoke rubber lug outsole, these boots are embellished with 18K gold LV tongue initials, eyelets, lace tips, and tag hardware. The boot’s LV tongue initials are inscribed with ‘The sun is shining on us,’ a sentiment expressed by Pharrell Williams at his debut show for Louis Vuitton in June 2023.
