Louis Vuitton


I used to think that all designer bags with their logo printed all over them were ultimately overrated. Seriously, I think it's just the fact that everyone had them even when they weren't real bags you know? haha It's really funny. But I like to think that all fashion designers should receive the upmost respect from other people. Their bags are made fine and have great quality. Louis Vuitton Malletier (pronounced /ˈluːi ˈvuːtɔ̃/ in English), commonly referred to as Louis Vuitton, or sometimes shortened to LV, is a French luxury fashion and leather goods company. Founded in 1854, one of the main divisions of LVMH headquartered in Paris, France. Known especially for bags and trunks, the company collaborates with prominent figures for marketing and design (most notably supermodel Gisele Bündchen and fashion designer Marc Jacobs). Internationally renowned and highly regarded for name recognition in the fashion world, as a result LV has become one of the most counterfeited contemporary luxury brands.
LV is also one of the oldest fashion houses in the world, having started in 1854. It sells its products strictly through its own retail stores, small boutiques in high-end
department stores, and online (as an effort against counterfeit). It primarily competes with Versace, Brioni, Gucci, Chanel, Armani, Prada and similar luxury fashion brands. After the death of his father, Georges Vuitton began a campaign to build the company into a worldwide corporation, exhibiting the company's products at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.
