Inspired by the heritage of the Grand Prix, the design showcases the traditional savoir-faire and the iconic Monogram canvas print we expect to see from Louis Vuitton, with twists of red influenced by the Monaco flag.

The large “V” marked across the surface stands for “Victory” and is outlined by a white strip to replicate the idea of a unique urban track.
