About Louis Vuitton
Since 1854, Louis Vuitton has brought unique designs to the world, combining innovation with style, always
aiming for the finest quality. Today, the House remains faithful to the spirit of its founder, Louis Vuitton, who
invented a genuine “Art of Travel” through luggage, bags and accessories which were as creative as they were
elegant and practical. Since then, audacity has shaped the story of Louis Vuitton. Faithful to its heritage, Louis
Vuitton has opened its doors to architects, artists and designers across the years, all the while developing
disciplines such as ready-to-wear, shoes, accessories, watches, jewelry, and fragrance. These carefully created
products are testament to Louis Vuitton’s commitment to fine craftsmanship.
