Is Louis Vuitton Italian?
1 Answer
No, Louis Vuitton is not Italian. The iconic luxury brand is French.
The company's modest origins can be traced back to when its founder, Louis Vuitton, wishing to free himself from the conventional lifestyle in his provincial French city of Anchay as well as a difficult stepmother, left in the early 1830s to make a new life in Paris. When he arrived in the capital city, Vuitton made a living with his hands. He toiled as a box maker and packer for more than a decade and built relationships with royals and members of the upper class while working for the empress of France, Eugenie de Montijo. In 1854, Vuitton launched his namesake company.
The French corporation LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton is the owner of Louis Vuitton.
