Cool!

But I thought LV monogram pattern was Japanese-inspired?

No, takashi murakami helped to make some of the "creations" of LV lines but the pattern itself is not japanese inspired.

^Thanks! I wasn't referring to Takashi Murakami being the influence on classic Mono.

I must have gotten the Japanese info from this website which is not totally accurate...

"...Although this year's celebration is a centennial, it actually commemorates the birth in 1896 of the famed monogram design. The design was inspired by Japanese flower prints, reflecting that era's fascination with Japan..."
