Vuitton

Vuitton, formally Louis Vuitton, is a French luxury fashion house founded in 1854 by Louis Vuitton in Paris. The company began as a maker of trunks and luggage and has since grown into a global luxury brand known for craftsmanship and its leather goods portfolio, including bags, wallets, and accessories. In addition to luggage, Vuitton now produces ready-to-wear, shoes, jewelry, watches, fragrances, and eyewear, and operates a network of boutiques worldwide along with e-commerce.

History: Louis Vuitton established the atelier to create durable, stackable trunks with flat tops that could be shipped by rail. In 1888 the Damier canvas pattern was introduced as an early branding reinforcement. In 1896 Georges Vuitton designed the Monogram canvas pattern (the LV initials with floral motifs) to secure brand identity after Louis's death. The company expanded into fashion and accessories in the 20th century and became part of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton in 1987, aligning with other luxury brands.

Today: Vuitton is headquartered in Paris and operates as part of LVMH. The LV monogram and Damier patterns are among the most recognizable symbols in fashion. The brand maintains exclusivity through selective distribution, craftsmanship, and limited editions, while continuing to influence luxury luggage, accessories, and contemporary fashion.
