Balancing international fame and artisanal craftsmanship, Louis Vuitton has managed to preserve handmade French manufacturing.
It all began in 1858, when, as a trunk maker at 4 Rue Neuve-des-Capucines in Paris, Louis Vuitton invented the flat trunk. It was easier to stack than the domed lid versions, and it met great success, becoming a symbol of modern luggage.
Since then, the art of luggage has evolved, and the Vuitton house, despite its significant growth, has retained its demanding and innovative spirit; exemplified by creations like the bed trunk or the desk trunk, which allows for the transport of not only books but also a typewriter and a small portable desk.
In this book, combining thorough documentation, period images, and contemporary photographs, you'll discover how Vuitton became the brand we know today.
As the pages turn, the house and its workshops open their doors to reveal the fabrication secrets of the 350 trunks and cases assembled each year.
A precious book that will delight enthusiasts of the Vuitton house, leather goods aficionados, and luxury seekers alike.
