If there is one symbol in luxury fashion that is instantly recognizable, it is the iconic Louis Vuitton Monogram. More than a pattern, it represents travel, craftsmanship, and heritage. Marking 130 years of the Monogram, the House kicks off a year-long celebration.
The Monogram has always been central to Louis Vuitton’s identity. Created in 1896 by Georges Vuitton as a tribute to his father, Louis, the emblem was initially conceived as a safeguard and an anti-counterfeiting measure, inspired by Gothic cathedral architecture and Japanese motifs. What began as protection soon became a work of art. The interlocking LV initials, quatrefoils, and flowers formed one of the most recognisable symbols in luxury, representing the House’s spirit of travel and savoir-faire.
In 2026, the House celebrates that inheritance with three anniversary collections—the Monogram Origine, VVN, and Time Trunk—bringing fresh interpretations of the Monogram to life.
Each collection highlights a distinct aspect of the House’s legacy: the artistry of canvas, the purity of natural leather, and the craftsmanship of the trunk-maker. Together, they express the living essence of Louis Vuitton, where innovation, beauty, and timeless design continue to travel hand in hand.
Evoking the spirit of early voyages, the Monogram Origine collection introduces a soft canvas inspired by archival designs, combining vintage warmth with modern lightness. Its subtle linen-cotton texture, pastel Monogram shades, and signature nametag honour the personalization and meticulous craftsmanship that have defined Louis Vuitton for over a century.
Rooted in a legacy of exceptional skill, the VVN and Time Trunk collections reinterpret the House’s iconic signatures. A seamless dialogue between past and present, they celebrate the savoir-faire, authenticity, and innovation that continue to shape the heart of Louis Vuitton’s vision.
