Louis Vuitton marks a major milestone in its philanthropic journey by celebrating 10 years of partnership with UNICEF. To commemorate the anniversary, the House unveils a Silver Lockit gold limited edition, reaffirming its long-standing commitment to children’s rights worldwide.
Originally launched in 2016, the Louis Vuitton Silver Lockit was created as a symbolic jewel representing trust, protection and transmission. Inspired by the historic padlock from the 1901 Steamer bag, the pendant has since become one of the most recognisable examples of Louis Vuitton charity jewellery, seamlessly blending craftsmanship with purpose.
Louis Vuitton x UNICEF: A Decade of Meaningful Impact
Over the past decade, the Louis Vuitton UNICEF partnership has raised more than $28 million USD, directly supporting UNICEF programmes focused on health, education and child protection for the world’s most vulnerable children. Reinterpreted annually, the Silver Lockit has played a key role in raising awareness of children’s rights while positioning Louis Vuitton as a leading voice in luxury brands supporting UNICEF.
The Silver Lockit Gold Limited Edition
To mark the anniversary year, the House introduces the Silver Lockit gold limited edition 2026, crafted for the first time in yellow gold. Designed as a unisex piece, this Louis Vuitton gold lock necklace UNICEF edition is produced in a very limited series, reinforcing its collectible status within Louis Vuitton jewellery 2026.
For every pendant sold, $800 USD is donated to UNICEF, strengthening the tangible impact of this Louis Vuitton philanthropic initiative. The piece is manufactured exclusively with Responsible Jewellery Council–certified partners, ensuring responsible sourcing and ethical production practices across the supply chain.
A Year of Celebrations Ahead
The gold Silver Lockit signals the beginning of a wider anniversary programme. Additional designs from the Silver Lockit Louis Vuitton UNICEF donation collection will be unveiled in April, with global activations and celebrations continuing throughout 2026.
The Louis Vuitton Silver Lockit gold limited edition will be available in 130 Louis Vuitton stores worldwide and online at louisvuitton.com.
