LOUIS VUITTON® - Courrier Lozine 110 - Brown

A year has passed since Virgil Abloh was appointed the artistic director of Louis Vuitton's menswear collections and under his initiative, the 122-year-old logo of the French fashion house has undergone some bright reinterpretations. But he is by no means the first to take the the historic monogram and run with it. From the origins of the logo in 1854, to its urban appropriation in 1990s New York, we're looking through the rich history of the LV monogram.

“Show me your luggage, and I will tell you who you are!” declared a 1921 Louis Vuitton ad. As our bags travel with us, they become a souvenir of the journeys we make & how we make them. From the turn of the last century until 1960, luggage spoke even more eloquently than today, using a rich vocabulary of hotel stickers which were fixed upon clients bags by the hotels. These stickers became renowned & inspired a myth about a secret luggage language shared by porters & bellboys across Europe.
