Louis Vuitton Debuts Two Monogram Capsule Collections for La Beauté

The house has translated Nicolas Ghesquière and Pat McGrath's runway partnership into collectible, higher‑priced cosmetics that mark the monogram's 130th anniversary.

Overview

  • Louis Vuitton announced Thursday that it launched two limited Monogram capsules, Monogram Dune and Monogram Infrarouge, which are live on louisvuitton.com and scheduled to appear in stores on Aug. 27.
  • Each capsule is built around new shades and key formats: LV Rouge satin lipsticks, LV Baume lip toppers, LV Ombres eyeshadow palettes and matching monogram accessories such as lipstick pouches and mini vanities.
  • Robb Report reported limited‑edition price points of $195 for LV Baumes and Rouges and $340 for LV Ombres, which are materially higher than comparable items in the permanent La Beauté line.
  • Pat McGrath described the release as an evolution of her long‑running backstage collaboration with Nicolas Ghesquière, and the brand frames the products as runway‑inspired rather than a conventional one‑off tie‑up.
  • The launch reinforces Louis Vuitton's move to treat La Beauté as a sustained luxury category with heritage‑driven, collectible drops, a strategy that could keep pushing premium pricing and demand for exclusive in‑store releases.
