Monogram canvas
Also called Toile Monogram
Louis Vuitton's LV-and-flowers coated canvas, created in 1896.
Louis Vuitton says Georges Vuitton created the Monogram canvas in 1896 after the Damier was copied: the initials LV with three floral motifs, in tribute to his father, who died in 1892. It was originally called L.V. canvas and renamed Monogram canvas from 1986. In the late 1950s Claude-Louis Vuitton developed a new coating that made it flexible enough for soft bags such as the Speedy and Noé.
