Some luxury fashion houses have their own signature patterns: The Burberry check, Louis Vuitton Damier Azur and Prada Symbole being the most famous examples. These are notably printed across luggage and accessories with the print as the main feature. On clothing, the pattern is usually applied more subtly, such as on the lining of a jacket, across the collar, or as even more discreet features, such as on the hem.

Leading fashion houses, such as Louis Vuitton Malletier (LV), Burberry, and Prada, have adopted relatively simple patterns as their house print. These prints are often applied in varying colourways across their core iconic products. Despite their longstanding and widespread use, these brands have struggled to register their prints as trade marks.
