Monogramming Everything
If it’s got a flat surface, it’s getting a monogram. Southerners love putting their initials on anything and everything, towels, tote bags, stationery, cell phone cases, you name it. It’s a cultural mash-up of tradition, fashion, and ownership. Monograms are often passed down through families, and for many, they’re as important as a signature. Outsiders often see it as over-the-top or needlessly decorative, but for Southerners, it’s about legacy. It’s not just a name, it’s who you are, stitched in cursive, front and center. In the South, monograms aren’t flashy, they’re expected.
