New Launch Of Louis Vuitton for UNICEF Silver Lockit By Virgil Abloh Has Raised Over $18M So Far

Reinterpreted once again by Virgil Abloh, this new collection for 2022 echoes his first Silver Lockit collaboration in 2020—bearing the same signature details but with new materials and colors: chain, padlock, and Louis Vuitton charm in natural or black titanium, with neon yellow, rainbow or black cord bracelets.  The design of the Lockit bracelets references George Vuitton’s ingenious tumbler lock created in 1890 to protect precious belongings. 

Since 2016, Louis Vuitton has raised over $18 million USD for UNICEF through the sale of its Silver Lockit bracelet and pendant collections. For every Silver Lockit by Virgil Abloh sold, $100 is donated to UNICEF. The Louis Vuitton for UNICEF partnership works to help bring vulnerable children life-saving support in humanitarian crises all over the world, supporting UNICEF to respond swiftly to emergencies or catastrophes worldwide.
