When did LV start using coated canvas?

1 Answer
When did LV start using coated canvas?
Louis Vuitton started using the French luxury fashion house’s now famous coated canvas in 1896. The iconic monogram print helped to deter the efforts of counterfeiters who even then tried to capitalize on the popularity of Louis Vuitton’s pieces.
