It’s hard to think of the famous Louis Vuitton logo and pattern combo representing anything other than affluent fashion, but a Cambodian social media company has come out to claim that the French luxury establishment’s iconic motif was in fact inspired by ancient Khmer art.
On Facebook, the company called Ebook Cambodia posted an image contrasting the well-known LV monogram on a handbag against an old stone carving of a Cambodian Apsara dancer, which wore a sarong decorated with floral patterns similar to the pattern used by Louis Vuitton so recurringly.
In Khmer, the caption said, “The LV brand. Sometimes you still can’t escape the art of ancient Khmer ancestors. A sculpture thousands of years old, but still with a sense of civilization and timelessness. Khmer ancestors are amazing!”

While it wasn’t made clear whether or not the page was insinuating that the French brand outright copied the design from the ancient stone carving, some commenters were more than a little skeptical about the idea of linking the brand to ancient Cambodian heritage.
One user went as far as to explain that the monogram pattern by Louis Vuitton was in fact inspired by Japanese square flower motifs, and was always colored brown and beige.
But then again, it can be easy to understand how some people might have some misconceptions about the origins of the celebrated pattern, considering how similar it looks to the floral one on the Apsara’s sarong.
