Louis Vuitton launches workwear capsule with Timberland

Louis Vuitton is set to release a capsule collection devoted to workwear on August 8, including a footwear collaboration with Timberland. 

A highlight of the Fall-Winter 2024 Men’s Show by Pharrell Williams, the capsule delves into the American Western origins of workwear through the lens of Louis Vuitton’s craftsmanship. 

The ready-to-wear collection features characteristic yokes and leather appliqué motifs from Western wardrobes on the pockets of trucker jackets and coats, which are designed in sculpturally voluminous cuts true to the functional lines of American workwear. Turquoise-like buttons, along with pearls, embroideries, and studs, embellish the garments, showcasing the delicate expressions of the Maison’s savoir-faire.

A standout element of the collection, the Keepall 50 Toolbox offers a utility-inspired take on Louis Vuitton’s emblematic bag. The bag is lined in coated Monogram Canvas with 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. Notably, 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 second line in the collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Timberland 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.

Lastly, as an exclusive, fifty editions of the highly exceptional LV 6-Inch ankle boot will be released. It features Classic Monogram premium supple waterproof Italian leather on a bespoke rubber lug outsole. 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.
