This 2026, Louis Vuitton is proud to celebrate 130 years of the creation of the Monogram — the emblematic canvas created in 1896 by Georges Vuitton as a tribute to his father, Louis — visionary founder of the fashion house.

One of the most immortalized, iconic and universal mark of distinction in the world of fashion – the Monogram is a living symbol of heritage, culture and innovation. 

Today, the brand takes pride in celebrating more than a century of the creation of the emblematic canvas and welcomes the year by honoring the Monogram iconic bags. These true heritage masterpieces of the house now comes in new, special-edition bag collections.

The Monogram was a pioneering stroke of genius from inception. Georges Vuitton personally designed the intricate pattern—interlaced LV initials and a bold floral motif. Inspired by Neo-Gothic aesthetics and Japonism, its primary purpose was authenticity, safeguarding the house’s creations after the earlier striped canvas and Damier designs. It further evolved into a defining signature, an enduring hallmark of the Louis Vuitton spirit. Beyond adornment, it embodies a philosophy of excellence, modernity and timeless transmission. The design is a statement of legacy.
