In the early 1800's, Louis Vuitton began as a luggage packer for the rich Parisian families. He learned his trade well and with some intuitive ideas and a lot of hard work, decided to try his hand at designing his own luggage. His luggage was specifically designed to fit perfectly, while being stacked, in luggage cars. Louis Vuitton created his own company in the year 1854.
Louis Vuitton designed his luggage with such wonderful style and the craftsmanship was superb, that many people took to his luggage and his business started to boom.
Even as early as 1854, Louis Vuitton had to deal with other companies making replicas of his luggage. People would buy these replicas, accidently thinking it was the original Louis Vuitton, only to find out later, after carefully inspecting the luggage that it was indeed a fake. Louis Viutton started to put the LV onto the luggage, making it easier for people to know that they have an original and not a replica.
Eventually, Louis Vuitton began making handbags. The first handbag was created in the year 1888.
It was called the damier canvas design. It was originally created to carry 5 champaign bottles at a time, but soon gained the popularity to be carried as an everyday handbag. Women everywhere were carrying around the damier canvas design and Louis Vuitton soon realized that he had a great hit with this new line of luggage. Right after this, Louis Vuitton began creating more and more handbags for everyday use.
Even today, companies still try to immitate and outsell the Lous Vuitton handbags, but to no avail.
Louis Vuitton is still at the top of the handbag industry.
With its wonderful designs, certain to set the trend for any given year, and its quality craftmanship, Louis Vuitton handbags will be around for many years to come.
