The man behind the Loui Vuitton brand

Loui Vuitton was a hard worker with a grand imagination from the time he was a little boy. He was not shy or hesitant to take on odd jobs from people on the street. He moved from his hometown in Jura to Paris when he was merely 14 years of age in order to make something of his life; and that he certainly did! When he was sixteen, he became apprenticed to the skilled luggage maker Merachal, who worked for the wife of Napoleon III, Empress Eugenie. The skills Vuitton acquired under Merachal’s teaching would later enable him to go into business for himself and set the stage for the creation of one of the most desired brands in the world. He opened his own shop in Paris in 1854, where he sold high-end luggage. His designs were very unique and made to make travelling easier and more convenient. He had trained his son Georges very well too, and this we can tell from the success Georges has made of his father’s brand. Because Georges’ intention was to continue his fathers’ work and to extend it even further, he maintained the name Loui Vuitton. In the present day, the name Loui Vuitton attracts millions of fans all around the world and creates a craze in the fashion world.

Loui Vuitton now headed by Marc Jacobs

Loui Vuitton is a pinnacle of luxury and fashion. In 1987 the Loui Vuitton Company merged with Moet Hennessey, a top spirits manufacturer, to form LVMH, a massive luxury goods conglomerate. Loui Vuitton is currently creatively headed by Marc Jacobs. It was under his direction that Stephen Sprouse was brought on board, helping to create the limited graffiti bags. Jacobs also collaborated with Takashi Murakami to give us the Monogram Multicolore line of bags, which were an immediate sensation.
