LOUIS VUITTON

This classic French brand needs no introduction. Its rich antiquity dates back to 1854 in Rue Neuve des Capucines, Paris when Vuitton successfully mastered the craft of box and trunk making. Luggage created by LV embodied the classic Damier canvas print, which continues to dominate its collections across international runways. By 1913, Louis Vuitton reached the status of global acclamation and became one of the best travel-goods’ brands in the world. Its elegant monogram too has etched a mark in the universe of fashion.

Around the 1940s, Louis Vuitton’s stylish trunks caught the fancy of Indian royal families who enjoyed travel and indulged in luxury. Later, with the luxe market in the country expanding at an exponential rate in 2003, Louis Vuitton made its much-awaited entrance into India by opening its Àrst store in the capital. Currently the brand has three stores here — Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi. They retail updated collections of luggage, sling bags, backpacks, shoes and accessories including bracelets, small leather goods, pocket squares, scarves, belts, and cu΁inks. louisvuitton.com
