It is the patina of time, The web is expanded and the pigments of the surface layer (checkerboard) have separated giving this "spider web" appearance. Not to be confused with a cracked canvas. 

Indeed the so-called Spider canvas does not crumble and is always perfectly waterproof, it is only a change of position of the paint molecules. The patina obtained is not on the whole surface, nor homogeneous. It only concerns a certain area, giving it a crazy charm.

The Monogram canvas was created in 1896 by Georges Vuitton , son of Louis Vuitton. It is a woven canvas with a jacquard loom, two-tone linen threads, one ecru, the other sienna, which brings out the design in monochrome. Resistant canvas but also very flexible and, therefore difficult to work, stick to rye flour and dextrin, it will be eaten by hungry rats.

The complexity of the implementation will lead to the abandonment definitively because it is too difficult to work.

From 1904, the Monogram canvas is transposed into a printed version to follow the evolution of the coating materials: the appearance of Pegamoid coating resin in fact reverses the ornamental technique since the canvas, this time devoid of pattern, is d 'first coated and then receives its decoration of rosettes and monograms This decoration is then stenciled in yellow-beige on a brown background, to restore the original damask pattern. Until 1959 the canvases will be stenciled.
