Louis Vuitton is the French luxury fashion house founded by trunk maker Louis Vuitton in 1854 in Paris. Starting with durable flat-top trunks designed for modern travel, the brand opened its first workshop at 4 Rue Neuve-des-Capucines near Place Vendôme. Louis Vuitton himself was a French box maker and entrepreneur, born in 1821 and passing in 1892, who revolutionized luggage construction with lightweight, stackable designs that made rail and steamship travel more elegant.
The house's iconic LV Monogram was created in 1896 by Georges Vuitton, Louis's son, and has become one of the most recognizable luxury branding patterns in fashion history. Landmark bags include the Speedy and Keepall (both 1930), the Noé (1932), the Alma (1992), and the Neverfull (2007). In 2026, Louis Vuitton marked 130 years of the Monogram with anniversary activations and special heritage collections. This poster collection traces the brand's visual legacy, from archival monogram patterns and logos to contemporary street style interpretations, capturing the enduring influence of a house that transformed travel goods into timeless luxury.
