Louis Vuitton was born in 1854, a Layetier - Packer manufacturer initially specialized in the manufacture of storage boxes. Louis Vuitton's great revolution was to have anticipated the development of rail transportation, at a time when travel by carriage was predominant. In order to travel by train, the trunks had to be stacked in the carriages and their curved shape at the time prevented this. By proposing the first flat trunks, Louis Vuitton invented the first luxury trunk. He quickly added noble materials to the interior of his trunks, with specific fittings, edges protected by leather, solid brass clasps...
Over the years, Louis Vuitton perfected his trunks to meet the demands of his wealthy customers. In 1872, in order to distinguish his pieces from the competitors who were all starting to copy his production, Louis decided to invent the first patterned canvas to cover his luggage: the stripes. We then found in 1888 the checkerboard fabric, followed by the famous LV jacquard monogram in 1896.
