Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton is a French luxury fashion house and company founded by Louis Vuitton in 1854. The brand is renowned worldwide for its LV monogram that appears on most of its products, including luxury trunks and leather goods, ready-to-wear, shoes, watches, jewelry, accessories, and books. Beginning as a trunk maker in Paris, Louis Vuitton revolutionized luggage with flat-topped trunks that could be stacked, replacing the rounded designs common at the time. The company's heritage in travel goods remains central to its identity, with iconic pieces like the Keepall and Speedy bags evolving from their trunk-making expertise. Under the creative direction of designers including Marc Jacobs, Nicolas Ghesquière, and Virgil Abloh, Louis Vuitton has expanded beyond leather goods into complete fashion collections while maintaining exceptional craftsmanship. The brand is known for its uncompromising quality, with products handcrafted by specialized artisans in dedicated workshops primarily in France, Spain, and the United States. Louis Vuitton operates a strictly controlled distribution strategy, selling exclusively through its own boutiques, store-in-stores, and e-commerce platform to maintain brand exclusivity. As the flagship brand of the LVMH luxury conglomerate, Louis Vuitton represents the pinnacle of French luxury savoir-faire, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design and cultural relevance.
