Yeah, yeah... monogram items can be tacky. They can also be quite nice. But which one is your favorite? Even if you hate them, choose the least-detestable.

I voted "Other" for Chanel. I think Fendi's is the ugliest (seriously, what the hell?), and Louis Vuitton's is the tackiest.

I agree. It seems that LV and DB have been trying to out-tacky each other recently

That actually doesn't sound too bad. But still, I'm so freakin' sick of LV right now. I'd have to give it a couple years before I could actually appreciate it.

Dior has a monogram?

I love Burberry's plaid print. I highly dislike Gucci's

Ok, I can't choose between Chanel and LV. I like Chanel because 1) it's not nearly as overused as the others and 2) the way the letters are positioned and the type of lettering they're done in is really tasteful. LV is going solely on the interlocking L and V, forget the little diamonds and flower things.

I chose "other" - my mom recently gave me a monogram Loewe messenger bag. It's the only monogram bag I own although I like it since theirs isn't so over-exposed.

I can't vote on this as I think they're all absolutely grotesque.

oleg casssini...it's like chanel's logo....but instead of two c's ...it's interlocking OC...

my mom had a great bag in the 70's that was snakeskin and had a small gold OC logo hanging from the zip...i loved it so much back then...

i like the gold fendi buckle on some of their bags...

but i don't really like anything with an all-over logo print...

His name along with others of that era, Halston, Scassi, Adolfo, et al, have become badly printed tags attached to the licensed dross. I hate licensed goods.

What do people think about the Goyard chevron? And Celine's monogram which bears a resemblance to Loewe Madrid.
