On the occasion of the 130th anniversary of the Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas, the House embraces the creative energy of this iconic motif with new expressions of its Color Blossom Fine Jewelry line.
Celebrating the Monogram flowers, this emblematic collection welcomes a new stone color – the eye-catching, navy-blue hued sodalite, which is rarely seen in jewelry today – while also introducing new pavé designs. A total of 28 new jewels now enhance the Color Blossom collection, inviting wearers to play, stack, combine and self-style the pieces.
First created in 1896 by Georges Vuitton in tribute to his father, the Monogram is rooted in artistic inspirations and movements, Neo-Gothic ornamentations, Japanism among them, embodying a timeless cultural resonance. An enduring icon for the House and universal symbol of creativity, it’s no wonder the motif has for 130 years been endlessly reimagined and reinterpreted, inspiring a host of artists and collaborators, and adorning pieces across the House from leather goods to ready-to-wear.
In 2015, the House welcomed Color Blossom, a graceful and versatile design that was themed around colored stones, each meticulously carved in volume to bring out of their individual beauty. Today the range of stones include ultra soft and feminine pink and white mother-of-pearl, refined and classic onyx, to radiant and lively cornelian, malachite and Amazonite. Combining luminous hues and delicate designs, each jewel, from rings and earrings to long sautoirs and short necklaces and bracelets, exude the effortless elegance and playful sophistication of the Color Blossom collection.
The House now welcomes a brand-new stone to the Color Blossom repertoire: sodalite. With a beautiful navy-blue hue, sodalite is a strong, relatively opaque stone with subtle inclusions, highlighting its link to nature and the elements. Known as the «salt stone», sodalite is rarely seen in jewelry today.
