First found on ancient Roman and Greek coins, monograms detected territory. Rulers would stamp their initials on their region’s coins, declaring dominance over that currency. In this way the monogram was first a sign for ownership, clearly marking what’s mine and what’s yours. But on the flip side, a monogram could symbolize where you belonged. Simply through his pocket change, a man could show the lands where he lived, worked and visited as well as the ruler who he followed. Dallas picked up on this and said YES to monograms – these 7 Monogram Shops in Dallas & Collin County will help you stay stylish and keep people remembering your name.
Fast forward even more and the monogram showed unity. For the 1950s household, society endorsed couples finding happiness through a spouse and family. After finding that happiness, there was no better way to celebrate a new family name than with printing it on everything in sight. From bath towels or monograms stitched onto the end of a table cloth, a monogram symbolized a family’s bond and hopeful legacy in the future.
Out of every way to characterize ourselves in fashion, what better way is there than using your own name?
A monogram shows individuality.
A monogram shows ownership, a symbol for the very person who’s wearing it.
And most importantly, a monogram shows pride, whether that be a pride in yourself, your style, or the fact that your initials just look great together.
