The name Louis Vuitton has been tantamount with luxury travel since 1854. Louis Vuitton began in France as a simple family business but has become an internationally recognized icon of sophistication and elegance. Prestigious Louis Vuitton is recognized as the world’s leader in luxury.
Louis Vuitton’s beginning was as a luggage and trunk maker. His skills landed him a position making luggage for the Empress Eugenie de Montijo, wife of Napoleon III. In 1854 he started his own shop and began creating stackable luggage. Up to this point luggage was traditionally round topped and difficult to stack. Louis Vuitton’s popularity soared and his business was a huge success. By 1876 he had developed the LV trademark logo that is still used today.
Today Louis Vuitton luggage is still made by hand; each trunk can require 60 hours to complete and each suitcase may take as many as 15 hours. The key to each piece of luggage is hand made so that those with multiple pieces will need only one key. A fine example of a timeless LV hard-side suitcase is the Alzer 65 featuring LV’s signature Momogram Canvas.
The Louis Vuitton brand is considered a status symbol. As such, it is one of the most counterfeited brands in the world. LV has wisely chosen to limit the avenues for marketing their products to their own boutiques and their own website. LV offers no discount sales and it does not have a duty free stores. Louis Vuitton has created an environment to allow them control of their pricing and famous product quality.
The signature brown Damier Canvas created in 1888 and the Monogram Canvas material created in1896 to protect against counterfeiting are still in use today. Ironically, only a small portion of those products in the general population that carry LV initials are authentic currently.
No longer does LV only produce luggage and travel accessories. Louis Vuitton is a fashion leader with men and women’s clothing lines, jewelry, watches, belts, accessories, sunglasses, wallets, handbags and many other items associated with elegance and high fashion.

Marc Jacobs is undeniably one of today’s best fashion weather vanes. Whether the new fashion trend is all about crazy colors or structured shapes, he’s always all over it before the rest of the fashion world has even heard about it. For the Fall 2008 collection of Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs took a very different direction from his last collection.
Whereas Vuitton of Spring 2008 had lots of colors and layers thrown together, this season’s collection looks more grown up and put together. Most of the looks have a decidedly retro feel – something that Dior is also doing, albeit with another decade. Jacobs combined 80’s outfits with a lot of technical stuff that, according to him, should exaggerate shapes. The muted color palette – it’s composed mostly of grays, blacks, browns and a few other pastel colors – also suggest that extra maturity. Even the accessories lost some of their exuberance, with the bags showing branding only on surfaces that were embossed.
A profusion of pleats came strutting down the runway along with skirts and coats in heavy fabrics. Almost all the cuts looked generally in line with the eighties theme: high waists, loose tapered pants and high necklines were all present in the retro style roll call. The pump wedges that most of the models were wearing served as one of the few explicit clues as to the novelty of the collection. It was the flow and movement of the clothes – particularly the skirts – that gave the collection its modern twist.
The eveningwear of this season’s Vuitton maintained the sobriety but brought in more chic with the details. A rather unusual long-sleeved dress and a frizz-collared number provided some highlights to an otherwise tame, technicals-heavy collection.
