Louis Vuitton
About
The brand originated as a maker of flat-topped trunks that were stackable for travel, a departure from the rounded trunks of the era. The monogram canvas, featuring the interlocking LV initials and floral motifs, was introduced in 1896 and remains central to the brand's identity. Louis Vuitton's leather goods, including the Neverfull, Speedy, Alma, and Capucines bags, are among the most widely recognized luxury accessories in the world.
The fashion division produces men's and women's ready-to-wear collections. Pharrell Williams serves as men's creative director, while Nicolas Ghesquiere leads women's collections. The house also operates a watch and jewelry division, with high jewelry collections and timepieces produced in its Swiss and French ateliers. Fragrances are created at the brand's perfume atelier in Grasse.
Louis Vuitton operates approximately 460 stores worldwide, including flagships on the Champs-Elysees in Paris, Fifth Avenue in New York, and Ginza in Tokyo. The brand sells through its own boutiques and e-commerce platform. Louis Vuitton is consistently ranked as the world's most valuable luxury brand, with estimated annual revenue exceeding 20 billion euros. All products are manufactured in-house, with the majority of leather goods production based in France, Spain, and the United States.
