"LOUIS VUITTON" 2014's Relaxed shawl collar knit sweater

"LOUIS VUITTON"

2014 shawl-collar wool-cotton knit sweater

From LOUIS VUITTON, which has long drawn inspiration from the spirit of travel to blend exceptional craftsmanship with a modern sensibility, we present a piece featuring exquisite detailing at the neckline.

With the oversized, folded shawl collar and a deeper V-neck as the highlights, this piece transforms the Maison’s elegance into an everyday pullover.

The body is crafted with a knit blend of 50% wool and 50% cotton—offering the warmth unique to wool while also providing the natural feel and easy handling of cotton. A moderate-gauge thickness creates a three-dimensional silhouette that shapes the neck and drapes through the body.

At the front, a kangaroo pocket is placed to balance practicality with design. Nearby, a square patch made of cowhide leather and embossed with the LV logo adds a subtle branded touch—creating an understated presence where you can feel the brand through the quality of the materials and the refined finishing, rather than having the logo dominate the forefront.

The color is a dark navy with depth even black would struggle to match; due to the play of shadow and light, the texture of the knit emerges quietly. While the design is casual, it never compromises on calm, refined elegance. The oversized shawl collar adds a soft sense of volume around the face, while the straight silhouette of the body and longer sleeves fall naturally from the shoulders to the hem—forming a relaxed, easy shape.

The RM141Q, which can be seen on the care tag, is believed to correspond to men’s wear from the first half of 2014. In addition, the specifications—including the LVJ Group, Inc. notation for the domestic distributor and “Louis Vuitton Japan”—are consistent with that period, positioning this as a product from around 2014, when Kim Jones served as Men’s Artistic Director.

The composition, which brings together a sporty kangaroo pocket and a classic shawl collar, reflects a distinctly refined interpretation of LOUIS VUITTON’s everyday style from this era. It’s a piece for anyone who would rather enjoy luxury through materials and form than through obvious ornamentation.

For styling, pair it with wool trousers or neat straight-leg pants for a polished, city-ready look. Alternatively, combine it with faded denim or leather trousers to enjoy an elevated casual style that makes the collar’s dimensionality the focal point.

With a presence that feels like a crossover between outerwear and knitwear, this is a rare piece that can take center stage in early autumn—and in winter can also be incorporated into layered styling by letting the shawl collar peek out from beneath a coat. Please consider taking this opportunity.
