BRAND STUDY
ABOUT LOUIS VUITTON The original Louis Vuitton company was founded by Louis Vuitton in 1854 on Rue Neuve des Capucines in Paris, France. Originally a luggage maker, Louis Vuitton realized that flat trunks could be stacked, as opposed to the rounded trunks that were more popular at the time. Vuitton monogram is one of the most luxurious and recognizable trademark in the world. After a great success, many other br-ands started to market Louis Vuitton as their label brand. A wide range of men and women collection is also found under this brand. Menswear is one of the important selling lines of Louis. The brand uses the finest fabric for its collection all over the world. The best part of this brand is that the luggage is still made by hands only by experts. Louis is famous for creating a limited edition collection every season. The brand culture relates to the spirit of travel. The tone of the brand is classy, elegant and sophisticated.
LOUIS VUITTON MONOGRAM PATTERN The unique pattern is composed of flowers, a universal and timeless symbol, and the entwined Louis Vuitton initials. The pattern was based on the trend of using Japanese and Oriental designs in the late Victorian era. The Monogram canvas has been associated with natural, vegetable-tanned vachetta cowhide leather. Its smooth, natural grain brings out the harmony of the carefully selected hide. This delicate, easily scratched leather is a testament to the bag’s history and develops a unique amber patina, unique to each bag and greater suppleness with time. The leather starts out with a white tone and gradually darkens over time, leaving a rich caramel or amber color.
