The Louis Vuitton story
A trunk maker whose canvas, drawn to defeat counterfeiters, became the most copied print in luxury.
Est. 1854France2264 styles
Paris, 1854. Louis Vuitton opened as a malletier, a maker of flat-topped trunks that stacked where domed ones could not.
1896, against the fakes. Georges Vuitton drew the Monogram canvas, designed to be hard to copy.
Named from the map of Paris. The Capucines for the street of the first store, the Alma for a bridge, the Petite Malle a trunk small enough to wear.
Travel, shrunk to the city. The Speedy was a 1930s travel bag made small; the Neverfull, a 2007 tote that turns fully inside out.
