It’s summer 2026 at its brightest, giving expression to every style: this season, the Louis Vuitton Resort Collection journeys through the many facets of a summer’s day. In the spirit of the summer holidays, this wardrobe, featuring ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes and accessories, lends itself to seaside play, chic getaways and sunset cocktails.
A day at the beach
Drawing on a sporty-chic aesthetic, this summer wardrobe mixes vibrant colours and surfer vibes, always elevated by Louis Vuitton’s chic and creative twist.
A terry-knit summer ensemble with Bermuda shorts pairs effortlessly with backless loafers. Deep-hued orange and pink tie-dye polo shirts sport a macramé Louis Vuitton patch. An oversized jersey T-shirt featuring a half-eaten ice lolly print slips over a neo-sixties swimsuit with a Monogram floral print, finished with a cap and a sand-coloured leather vanity case in hand. A denim playsuit with the Monogram motif plays off the LV Mare thong sandals in orange or fuchsia leather, adorned with gold-tone LV initials, partially overlaid with leather.
Carrying their boards decorated with Monogram flowers and an ocean blue LV, vintage-chic surfer girls seek out the best spot, sporting a tied triangle swim top and shorts with a smocked waist and micro-flower print. Their sand-coloured canvas Antigua tote features a V-shaped leather patch and a luggage tag in the shape of a yacht buoy.
A hallmark design this season, the limited-edition Ace Ball will entice collectors. Reminiscent of a volleyball made from 18 leather and Monogram canvas panels, it brings together playful creativity and exceptional craftsmanship. Another collector piece, the Bag-Alow is a nod to California beach bungalows. Crafted from leather and adorned with refined details, this bag is shaped like the stilt houses found along the American West Coast, distilling the excellence of Louis Vuitton’s savoir faire.
Accessories infuse this LV summer with a playful touch, from terry bucket hats in vibrant hues to rose-tinted Monogram sunglasses. LV Cube necklaces in enamelled stone composite with colourful rhinestones and Damier engravings draw inspiration from the House’s archival Patéki game, an avant-garde puzzle designed by Gaston-Louis Vuitton in 1932.
A holiday getaway
Ideal for exploring the Riviera by motorcycle, bike or even convertible, denim is an elegant and contemporary staple, expressed through jeans, a peplum top or baggy shorts, coordinated with cropped polo shirts or youthful tennis skirts. In footwear, the LV Sneakerina offers a new rubber sole for enhanced comfort and a sleek style.
A must-have for a summer excursion, the Alma BB bag in Epi leather comes in flashy colours, finished with a colourful braided cord and enamelled charms.
For a romantic mood, thin-strap dresses trimmed with scalloped lace revive the charm of vintage linens, accented with LV embroidery revisiting the monogrammed initials of a traditional trousseau. Inspired by the 1982 Picnic Trunk, the iconic Capucines bag is imagined in a basket version made from handwoven rattan using traditional French savoir faire.
The elegant nonchalance of day pyjamas with Palazzo pants in pastel peach silk lends itself to any outing, accessorised with the Speedy LV Stamp. Pairing a signature chain with fine-striped canvas and a mini Monogram, the bag showcases a circular seal in baby pink, stamped with the historic trunk inscription: Louis Vuitton Trunks & Bags. Inside, it reveals a delightfully fresh vintage-inspired floral pattern.
Cocktails at sunset
Echoes of this sun-drenched day linger into cocktail hour with the collection’s silk prints. In Louis Vuitton’s summer garden, floral arabesques and ornamental chain details define lustrous silk patterns on a shirt-and-shorts ensemble, a shirt dress, an asymmetrical short dress, as well as on square silk scarves designed to be worn in your hair. On your arm, the Minigram bag in supple calf leather, elevated by a small-scale Monogram, comes in ethereal colours – light pink, banana yellow and hazelnut – capturing the energy of free-spirited, contemporary youth.
Finally, aesthetes who favour black in summer against sun-kissed skin can slip on a little black evening dress with details borrowed from lingerie, together with a sculptural pendant necklace in gold-tone metal, echoing the jewels on the LV Treasure thong sandals. In your hand, the Capucines Sunbeam bag catches the eye with its multicoloured beads and hand-assembled jewel chain. Now, nothing stands in the way of your summer night.
