如果名牌也有等级之分,那百年老牌Louis Vuitton绝对是名牌中的名牌.以旅行箱、皮包起家,近年来引爆全球的名牌热潮,更确立了“高级皮制品=LV Monogram”的品牌形象.     1837年,年青的Louis Vuitton不畏艰难长途跋涉,到巴黎追求自己的梦想,也似乎暗示着旅行、冒险、勇气成为贯穿LV百年的品牌精神.Vuitton使用独特的布料为贵族制作皮件,很快就受到了注目,成为当时贵族阶层旅行最爱使用的品牌.1854年Vuitton在巴黎开设了第一家的旅行皮件店,从此一个代表高质量的旅行皮箱品牌诞生.1896年,Louis Vuitton的儿子George Vuitton设计出了以LV缩写搭配上四瓣花纹的“Monogram”图腾,成为LV的永恒标志和象徵.1914年,LV在法国的香榭丽舍大道开设第一间大型专卖店,为全球大型皮件专卖店风气之先.     除了皮箱、皮件和时装外,求新求变的百年老店LV也将脚步跨入其他时尚领域.1998年,请来时尚界的大顽童Marc Jacobs掌舵,带领这艘巨轮继续前航.Marc来自美国,但他却深深为服装的历史、文化、根基和经典精神所着迷.Marc的设计理念以实用为主,他认为时装要能够让人穿出门才是最实际的,注重设计细节,揉合个人的独特眼光,衍生出出众的女性魅力风格.经典的行李箱、鲜艳创新的提包,LV的高贵精神和品质不变,但在Marc的巧妙装扮下却为LV换上了新的表情,更贴近大众的生活.     日本的艺术家村上隆(Takashi Myrakami) 以他的卡通世界颠覆了LV,也颠覆了整个世界,LV的字母组合图案遇上变化多端的奇幻色彩扭转了人们的视觉印象.顿时间,村上隆的大笑花朵和招牌眼睛幻化成各种形式出现在LV的商品上.西方经典品牌遇上东方天马行空的艺术家,这场时尚与艺术的联姻获得了空前的成功.对村上隆相当着迷的Marc Jacobs表示他最欣赏的是村上隆欢乐作品底下的黑暗面,同时具有光明和黑暗才是真实人生,也是Marc Jacobs要带领LV前进的方向.     令人惊艳的大胆巧思,无庸置疑,这些LV的新成员将被收藏在LV的历史档案中,永远占有不可抹灭的一席之地.但不管LV跨足多少领域,推出多少新品,LV还是绝对的LV——一部时尚界史诗般的神话,永远的名牌中的名牌.

History
Early Days (1854-1892)
1854 - Vuitton opens his first store in Paris on Rue Nueve des Capucines, founding Louis Vuitton Malletier a paris. Before his quality trunks, French philosopher, Denis Diderot & Jean Le Rond d'Alembert makes mention of a Malletier and his techniques about 140 years earlier. (1713-1784)
Vuitton began by selling flat-topped trunks that were lightweight and airtight. All trunks before this had rounded tops for water to run off and thus could not be stacked, it was Vuitton's gray Trianon canvas flat trunk that allowed the ability to stack for ease with voyages.
1860 - Vuitton opens a larger factory in Asnières-sur-Seine to accommodate increased demand.

1876 - Vuitton creates the wardrobe trunk, which contains a rail and small drawers for storing clothing.
