Louis Vuitton teamed up with Beirut-based designer Nada Debs to expand its LV Mirage universe, marking the first artistic collaboration in the capsule’s six-year history. Debs, known internationally for her contemporary reimagining of traditional Arab craftsmanship, introduces three striking creations that root the collection deeper into the region’s design heritage: a sculptural Bakhoor set, an accompanying Bakhoor trunk, and a reinterpreted Capucines bag featuring her signature dune motif.
Debs’ pieces emerge directly from the atmosphere of the desert. In her hands, this translates into a Monogram-flower-shaped incense set, metallic latticework that mimics carved wood screens, and a Capucines rendered in luxurious Taurillon leather with a sculptural, sand-wave overlay. The daily act of burning bakhoor is elevated to objet d’art status, framed within Louis Vuitton’s most iconic silhouettes.

That sense of tradition mixed with something newly expressed threads through the rest of the Mirage collection too. Shot against warm desert light with Saudi model Amira Al Zuhair at the forefront, the pieces feel perfectly calibrated for Ramadan with soft silhouettes for day, and elevated accents for evenings that stretch into suhoor. There’s silk pajama pants grazing the ankles, soft draped capes catching the filtered sunlight, and ponchos with the faintest Monogram woven into the fabric. Embellished mules with heirloom charms would slide easily into a majlis-to-dinner rotation without feeling overdressed. The palette moves in gentle gradients: datewood browns, incense pinks, dune beige, hues that softly melt into the desert landscape.
Even the leather goods feel more tactile this season. Capucines and Speedys resurface with varnished finishes, hand-beaded floral embroidery, and hardware that glints without screaming. The fine jewelry echoes the theme in saturated stones (malachite, amazonite, cornelian), each one catching the light like a polished talisman.

And then there’s the fragrance, Ambre Levant—an amber-oud swirl by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud that reads like a love letter to golden hour. It’s the kind of scent that can live through a long night of social visits without collapsing under the weight of rich food or crowded rooms.
Luxury houses have long borrowed from Middle Eastern symbols, motifs, and aesthetics, often without naming the source. This collection is different. By bringing in Debs—an artist who has built an entire career on elevating regional craft—Louis Vuitton isn’t merely referencing the Middle East, but collaborating with it.

The LV Mirage Capsule Collection 2026 is available to shop in the Middle East online and in stores now before rolling out globally on January 30.
