Louis Vuitton adds Berlin to its Travel Book Collection for spring 2026, tapping Croatian illustrator Miroslav Sekulić-Struja to map the city through a more personal lens. His take follows two characters drifting through memory, pain, and healing, leaning into the series’ core idea that travel is less about documentation and more about emotional first impressions.
The release coincides with an exhibition at the Festival du Dessin in Arles this April and May, where Sekulić-Struja’s original drawings are shown alongside works by Gabriella Giandelli and Miles Hyman. It’s a reminder of how the collection has operated since 2010, inviting artists into unfamiliar places and letting instinct shape the outcome.
We’ve kept a few of these books in rotation since the mid-2000s, and they tend to come along for the ride more often than not. They’re not about checking off the obvious spots or chasing anything overly polished. If anything, they’ve been useful for landing somewhere that fits a mood, whether that’s something a little more under the radar or just a place you might have missed otherwise.
Sekulić-Struja’s Berlin fits that mold. His background, shaped between Croatia and Germany and rooted in comics and illustration, feeds into a body of work that treats the city as both setting and state of mind. The book compiles 116 drawings alongside his travelogue and biography, presented in trilingual editions.
Available in standard, collector, and a limited run of 30 signed copies with leather binding and a lithograph, the Berlin edition lands in Louis Vuitton stores, select bookstores, and online from May 2026.
