Louis Vuitton Luggage

When you visualize a Louis Vuitton classic monogram canvas bag, do you feel a sense of longing? A Louis Vuitton handbag is probably considered the most luxurious personal item to own – not to mention the status that it implies. After all, the LV signature is not simply a logo; it’s more like a symbol that speaks of one’s wealth and fashion sense. This is where the heart often wins the battle over the mind. We know how expensive a Louis Vuitton handbag is, yet that doesn’t stop women from blowing their monthly paycheck to get their hands on one!

Founder, Louis Vuitton began his small trunk making business in Paris, in 1854. After his innovative flat-topped airtight trunks caught on, he expanded his factory to Asnières, Paris in 1860. Various medals awarded at the World’s Fair, led Louis Vuitton to conquer the world of fashion. However, it was after Louis Vuitton’s death, that his son, Georges designed the company’s famed monogrammed canvas bag. Today, the distinctive “LV” monogram is seen not only on handbags and luggage, it is also featured on designer clothing, sunglasses, umbrellas, perfumes and even travel books.

Hollywood super stars like Jennifer Lopez, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton and Usher sport Louis Vuitton like a badge of honor. Even mummy-to-be Angelina Julie was captured carrying LV signature luggage on a recent trip to Paris.

The Louis Vuitton Company’s prestige has seen the brand branch out into sports and charity arenas. For example, LV sponsored the Vuitton Cup – the world’s most prestigious yacht race – in 1983.

With the acquisition of another famous brand name, Mark Jacobs, in 1998, Vuitton reigns supreme on the high fashion hill.
