About Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton Malletier, commonly known as Louis Vuitton, is a French luxury fashion house founded in 1854 by Louis Vuitton in Paris, France. Originally a trunk-maker and leather goods designer, the brand has expanded into fashion, shoes, watches, jewelry, accessories, and sunglasses. Louis Vuitton is the world's most valuable luxury brand, with annual revenue exceeding $20 billion. The company is a flagship brand of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world's largest luxury goods conglomerate, led by Bernard Arnault.

The Louis Vuitton Logo

Louis Vuitton's iconic "LV" monogram was created in 1896 by Georges Vuitton (Louis's son) to prevent counterfeiting of the brand's products. The monogram canvas features interlocking "L" and "V" initials alongside floral motifs (quatrefoils and flowers) in a repeating pattern. The design was inspired by Japanese and Oriental design trends popular in Victorian-era France. Despite being created as an anti-counterfeiting measure, the LV monogram has ironically become one of the most counterfeited logos in the world.
