Louis Vuitton was born in Lavans-sur-Valouse in 1821 and founded the homonym brand in 1854. The stylist soon attracted notoriety, participating in the 1867 universal exhibition in Paris. The iconic Damier Canvas pattern invention dates back to 1888, in whose logo was written "marque L. Vuitton déposée", or "registered trademark L. Vuitton". Today the Maison is one of the leading houses in the world of fashion and its products include, in addition to luxury suitcases, shoes, jewelry, accessories and books.
