About Me:
Birth : 4 August 1821
Birthplace : Anchay, Jura, France
Death : 27 February 1892
Best known as : Founder of the luxury monogrammed luggage company
Louis Vuitton began manufacturing trunks in Paris in 1854, and the company he started went on to become one of the world's most famous makers of luxury goods, known especially for its designer luggage pattern: a beige-on-chestnut monogram, "LV." Vuitton's high-quality travelling trunks were such a hit that he had to expand his factory within a few years, relocating to Asnieres in 1860. As the years went by the Vuitton line gained international recognition, thanks in part to a bronze medal at the 1867 World's Fair and a gold medal at the 1889 World's Fair, both held in Paris. After Louis died in 1892, his son, Georges, took the company to new heights, developing what is recognized as the first "designer label" on a product. (Widespread copying of Vuitton patterns pushed Georges to design the distinctive "LV" monogram.) Vuitton's luggage company has since become a world leader in luxury consumer goods, with products that include travel books, perfume, distilled spirits and designer clothing.
Georges Vuitton is also credited with developing Vuitton's unique five-combination lock... In 1936, after Georges died, his son, Gaston-Louis, took the helm of the company... In 1983 the Louis Vuitton company joined with America's Cup to form the Vuitton Cup, a preliminary competition -- called an eliminatory regatta -- for the world's most prestigious yacht race... In 1998 Vuitton entered the world of high fashion with the designs of Marc Jacobs.

The name of Louis Vuitton
Has been synonymous with the manufacture of high quality luggage, travel and leather items since 1854. Louis Vuitton is a subsidiary of LVMH, the first global group to specialize in prestigious luxury products. Since 1998, Louis Vuitton has diversified into ready-to-wear fashion and shoes with resounding success. From the humble origins as a trunkmaker, Louis Vuitton has always been a trendsetter, progressively developing a range of luxury products consistent with the brand's values. In 1998 when Marc Jacobs joined the firm as Artistic Director, this creativity entered an exciting new realm. In 1987 Louis Vuitton handbags became a subsidiary of LVMH, the world's leading luxury goods group. Louis Vitton has taken full advantage of the many synergistic relationships generated within the group, all the while retaining their identity and remaining faithful to their distinctive difference.
Louis Vuitton - The Logo
When Louis Vuitton (the man, not the monogram) set off for Paris on foot from Anchay, France, at age 14, he could never have imagined the fashion frenzy he would one day create. Now, 150 years later, his handbags are coveted by everyone from Beyonce to Renee Zellweger. The Murakami alone generated more than $300 million in sales.
The young Vuitton, who apprenticed with a Parisian trunkmaker before getting a job as Empress Eugenie's packer, struck gold when the arrival of steam engines and ocean liners created a craze for fashionable trunks. Vuitton's idea--to make them stackable and waterproof and, later, to cover them in logo-stamped canvas--was a hit. Soon a Who's Who of well-heeled world leaders was buying up Vuitton bed trunks and wardrobe cases. Even Coco Chanel couldn't resist, ordering one of the first Vuitton handbags. Today it's hard to walk through an airport or down an avenue without spotting an LV logo.
