This year marks the 10th anniversary of a partnership that has been a source of inspiration and joint commitment.

For the past ten years, Louis Vuitton has stood alongside UNICEF to support essential health, education, and protection programmes for the world’s most vulnerable children, contributing to deliver lifesaving support across the globe, including in some of the hardest to reach emergencies. Starting from 2026, the funds raised will further support programmes dedicated to gender equality and women’s empowerment,

Thanks to Louis Vuitton’s network of customers, employees, and brand ambassadors, over $28 million has been raised in support of UNICEF, and the partnership has recently been renewed for an additional 5 years.

"Our decade‑long partnership with Louis Vuitton shows what sustained action can achieve for children and communities. We are grateful to everyone at Louis Vuitton who has come together throughout the years to raise awareness and strengthen this partnership. Together, we are helping to protect the world's most vulnerable children, empowering young girls, and contributing to a better future for generations to come.” 

UNICEF Deputy Executive Director, Kitty Van der Heijden.

The Silver Lockit 

As part of the #MAKEAPROMISE campaign, Louis Vuitton launches an annual Silver Lockit jewellery collection, especially designed to raise funds for UNICEF. For every Silver Lockit sold, $100 to $200 is donated to UNICEF, depending on the design. Every year, a new limited-edition collection of the Silver Lockit is launched globally to support UNICEF in its effort to protect children around the world.

Inspired by the tumbler lock invented by Georges Vuitton in 1890 to safeguard customers’ most precious belongings, the Silver Lockit is a symbol of protection. It was chosen to represent Louis Vuitton, sealing its promise to help children in urgent need. 

LV for UNICEF Reporters

Keen on raising awareness of UNICEF’s work and children’s needs, Louis Vuitton selects each year a group of volunteers among its employees to visit UNICEF programmes. Known as ‘LV for UNICEF Reporters’, they witness first-hand the local challenges for children and families and how UNICEF helps the world’s most vulnerable children get better access to nutrition, education, vaccination and sanitation, among others. When they return to their home countries, they become internal champions of the partnership by sharing their experiences with colleagues, friends and family, spreading the word of the important work done by UNICEF.

A decade of commitment to children

To celebrate these ten years of shared action, 2026 will be marked by several highlights: new interpretation designs of the Silver Lockit collection and an exceptional timepiece named the Louis Vuitton Unity Time Object, especially conceived to be auctioned in support of UNICEF.

Additionally, Louis Vuitton developed the REBONDS book project. Originally published in 1998 following the Football World Cup, this new book edition features around a hundred important figures from a variety of backgrounds (film, music, contemporary art, sport and fashion) all anchored in a shared commitment and unity to support children.

"For a decade, our partnership with UNICEF has been a testament to Louis Vuitton's unwavering belief that every child deserves an equal chance to thrive and dream. What began in 2016 as a profound commitment has evolved into a powerful journey, fueled by our shared values of education, transmission, and responsibility. Our focused support to the new Power4Girls programme starting in 2026 allows us to look forward to continuing our journey, building sustainable change, step by step, for generations to come." Louis Vuitton

All profits from the sale of this book and the auction will be donated to UNICEF’s work to support children, especially those affected by emergencies.
