Start the New Year as you would your first day at school — utterly prepared

There’s almost a “first day back at school” feeling about January. You know, that first day of term when you had a fully-loaded pencil case and starch-ironed new uniform with your initials sewn into the label. Well, just because school is a long and distant memory doesn’t mean you can’t begin the year afresh, so start as you mean to go on with some monogrammed belongings. Louis Vuitton introduced the Mon Damier Graphite collection at the end of last year, which is now available to customise with initials and personalised coloured stripes in five new shades. The 10-piece collection is perfect for the gent who doesn’t want to lose his bag after playtime.
