Louis Vuitton OnTheGo Medium Checkerboard Bag

1. Design inspiration and series positioning
Portuguese tile aesthetics:

Inspired by Lisbon’s traditional Azulejo painted tiles, the geometric checkerboard is combined with the complex Monogram pattern to create a bag pattern with strong visual impact.

The main model of the 2023 autumn and winter series pays tribute to European decorative art.

Double-sided design philosophy:

Front: Enlarged version of Monogram Giant checkerboard (checkerboard size 3.5×3.5cm)

Back: Close-paved Monogram old flowers, simulating the effect of tile splicing
