Many of us know immediately what design house a bag is when we see the distinctive brown LV Print. The LV monogram has been around since 1896 when George’s Vuitton, the son of creator Louis Vuitton, created the monogram to honor is father and as a way to signify to buyers that the trunk they were buying was in fact LV. Since then the monogram has ended up on everything from sunglasses to socks and slgs to handbags.
The continued use of this monogram is great for deal hunters and for vintage lovers because these bags are very easy to find. The prices are more reasonable than going into LV right now and buying a bag and honestly the older bags are better quality.
Remember that these are vintage bags and have had a previous life. They won’t be perfect but if there are no cracks in the canvas LV can replace leather bits! Plus there are lots of great YouTube videos showing you how to get canvas shiny again, cleaning greasy handles, and reconditioning leather.
