The most recognisable print from Louis Vuitton is, as mentioned, the Monogram Canvas. Louis Vuitton’s son, George, is the maker of the Monogram Canvas. George created this canvas in 1896 for a very specific reason : to stop imitators of the brand's designs. The demands for authenticity were associated with the Monogram logo. At the time, counterfeiting was a very frustrating and challenging issue. Like painters, George Vuitton made the decision to sign his father's name on every item. George believed that this would address their issue.

The Pattern

 The pattern stands for : innovation, travel, experiencing different cultures, durability, solidity, and French luxury. Furthermore, the pattern consists out of two unique symbols : The LV is the first symbol which will attract your attention. These letters are really straightforward but wonderfully made to blend together nicely. Naturally, these letters represent the name of the company: Louis Vuitton. The second symbol is a design that resembles flowers. According to some people, George was inspired by Asian and Japanese aesthetics while he created the symbols, while other individuals will claim that he was motivated by the architectural features of a historic structure that had the appearance of a church. If you want our opinion? We believe that the first story—that Louis Vuitton admired Chinese culture—is accurate. Presumably George was paying a homage to his father.

100th Anniversary of the Monogram Canvas

 To celebrate the 100^th anniversary of the Monogram Canvas in 1996, Louis Vuitton invited several designers. They did this so that the designers could create unique pieces of luggage. The collection was available in different countries. The idea behind this? Bringing the brand’s spirit of innovation and collaboration to fashion lovers across the globe.
