The Monogram at 130 Years

You're Invited

In the 130th year of the Monogram, we look at one of luxury’s most enduring icons. How it came to be, how it has evolved and what it means today. 

Its longevity is not simply a question of design. It rests on the work behind it - the craft, skill and judgement that allow it to be adapted over time, while remaining recognisable. As it moves across different contexts, that balance becomes more visible. 

This breakfast, hosted by HTSI and Financial Times with Louis Vuitton, will bring together an exclusive group of cultural and business leaders for a morning discussion. Held at the Louis Vuitton Hotel pop-up, it will consider how the monogram continues to evolve, how craft supports that process, and what it means to sustain an icon today.  

The discussion will be between:

Pierre-Louis Vuitton
head of savoir-faire, Louis Vuitton
