Louis Vuitton Purses and Handbags
The house of Louis Vuitton is one of the oldest in the fashion business. Founded in the year 1854 by Louis Vuitton, the fashion house is famously known for its production of luxury leather goods, in particular its fashionable bags and trunks that are held in high international regard.
Luis Vuitton started out as a lone store in Paris. Soon, its trunks and other luxury luggage items become renowned for their incredible quality. When Louis Vuitton died he passed on the fashion house to his son, George Vuitton. George Vuitton continued where his father left off and expanded the luxury empire. He is responsible for the monogrammed canvas that is famous today, which he later patented.
With the growth and international recognition of the Louis Vuitton brand, additions were made to the empire. Purses and wallets were introduced. These were also made with the Louis Vuitton Monogram. In the seventies, Louis Vuitton expanded into the Asian market. Stores were opened in Tokyo and Osaka in 1978. This was later followed with stores in Taiwan and Korea in 1983 and 1984 respectively. Very conscious to the plague of counterfeiting, authentic Louis Vuitton products are sold exclusively in Louis Vuitton stores and on their website louisvuitton.com.
In all its years, the esteemed excellence of its leather goods has been maintained. The suitcases and trunks are still made by hand in a detailed operation that can take as many as 60 hours to make. In 1997, LVMH opened its first ready-to-wear clothing line. The house also produces jewelry and Louis Vuitton is the creator of the iconic brands; the Speedy, the Steamer and the Pochette.
Louis Vuitton bags are the Rolls Royce of the handbag world. Their long history and persistent style has established them as the classic default for luxury bag owners. The Louis Vuitton speedy comes in four sizes. Regardless of which size you settle for, its internationally recognized monogrammed exterior, alongside its simple look, makes it easily adaptable to anything you wear. The bags are sturdy too. During the early years of its creation, Louis Vuitton marketed the monogrammed canvas as “…lightweight, supple, strong and sturdy. Completely waterproof …highly resistant to surface scratches - perfect for travel and contemporary lifestyles.” The same is still true today.
Louis Vuitton bags are the revered king of style. Having survived over a century, it is highly unlikely that it will lose its lofty position any time soon - another advantage of owning one. In the luxury world style is eternal. If you happen to own a Louis Vuitton, it will remain stylish for as long as you use it—which, history has come to show, will be quite a while.
