Asake Just Opened The Vault — £83,500 Worth of Louis Vuitton and Counting
Asake doesn’t do quiet flexes, and this one’s no exception. The star has shown off a personal Louis Vuitton collection worth over £83,500 and unlike a lot of celebrity “collections” that turn out to be one bag and a lot of exaggeration, this one comes with actual receipts.
Breaking Down the Vault
The showcase includes some genuinely serious pieces:
• The Courrier Lozine — £51,000. This isn’t a bag, it’s a full monogrammed steamer trunk, the kind of piece Louis Vuitton built its original reputation on back in the 1850s when it revolutionized luxury travel luggage. Individual units of this trunk have been known to sell anywhere from roughly £80,000 to $100,000+ depending on the finish, so £51,000 is very much in the expected range for an authentic piece.
• The LV x Takashi Murakami Rolling Trunk — £20,000. A collaboration piece born from one of fashion’s most celebrated crossovers — Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami’s colorful, pop-art reimagining of Louis Vuitton’s classic monogram, a partnership that’s produced some of the brand’s most collectible pieces since it first launched in the early 2000s.
• The Boîte Chapeau 40 — £5,500. A smaller round hatbox-style piece, elegant and instantly recognizable, and one of LV’s more understated luxury statements.
• The Takashi Murakami Keepall — over £7,000. The duffel-style travel bag, similarly dressed in the Murakami collaboration artwork, rounding out a set that leans heavily into both heritage craftsmanship and collectible art-fashion crossover pieces.
Add it all up, and you’re looking at a collection that comfortably clears £83,500 and that’s just what’s been shown publicly.
This Isn’t Random, Asake and LV Go Way Back
If you’re wondering why a Nigerian street-pop star has this level of access to Louis Vuitton’s most exclusive pieces, context helps. Asake has become a regular fixture at Louis Vuitton’s Paris Fashion Week shows, spotted at the brand’s Spring/Summer 2027 menswear presentation sitting alongside British rapper Skepta and mingling directly with LV Men’s Creative Director Pharrell Williams the same Pharrell responsible for reimagining pieces like the Courrier Lozine trunk in recent seasons. His fashion choices at these events have drawn praise for their understated confidence, proving he doesn’t need to overdress to hold his own in a room full of designers, athletes, and A-list musicians.
That kind of proximity to the brand’s inner circle not just buying LV, but being genuinely embedded in its fashion-week world makes an £83,500 personal collection feel less like a random splurge and more like a natural extension of where his career has taken him.
The Bigger Picture
Asake’s rise has been one of the most remarkable in recent Afrobeats history. Since debuting under Olamide’s YBNL Nation in 2022 with the multi-platinum Mr. Money With The Vibe, he’s dropped three studio albums, hit the UK Top 15, and become one of the genre’s most consistent global exports. A collection like this isn’t just flex for flex’s sake it’s a visible marker of just how far his career has traveled in under four years.
Wahala Network Take
From YBNL’s rising star to rubbing shoulders with Pharrell at Paris Fashion Week and casually owning an £83,500 Louis Vuitton collection Asake’s glow-up story just keeps getting louder. Say what you want, but the man’s clearly not slowing down anytime soon.
