For over 150 years, Louis Vuitton's monogrammed bags have been associated with style and luxury. Born in 1821, he left home at 13 to seek his fortune in Paris, where he became an apprentice boxmaker, which eventually led to his introduction to the French royal court. With royal approval, Louis opened his first workshop in 1854, where his skills and innovations made his brand one of the most popular in Europe.

Passing on his passion for creating beautiful luggage to his son Georges and later his grandson Gaston-Louis, they ensured that the company continued to grow, surviving two world wars and becoming the luxury brand for which it is renowned.

Louis Vuitton stores opened in cities around the world and expanded into other high-end brands. The 1987 merger with Möet Hennessy created the megabrand LVMH, and the 1997 appointment of Marc Jacobs launched Louis Vuitton into the fashion world.
