The history of the Louis Vuitton House
A legacy of luxury and innovation
Founded in 1854 by Louis Vuitton, the eponymous house began as a manufacturer of innovative travel trunks. Louis Vuitton introduced flat trunks covered with Trianon canvas, lightweight and stackable, contrasting with the domed lid trunks of the time. This innovation quickly positioned the brand as a symbol of luxury and quality.
In 1896, to combat counterfeiting, the house created the Monogram pattern, combining the initials "LV" with floral motifs, which became emblematic of the brand. Over the decades, Louis Vuitton has expanded its product range to include handbags, accessories, clothing, and leather goods, while maintaining its commitment to craftsmanship and innovation.
