Louis Vuitton



Today is the first year of my first Louis Vuitton wallet.I bought it in Kingdom Tower, Riyadh Saudi Arabia on July 7,2007. Bob is the one who accompanied me to purchased it.


According to my horoscope that day 777 or July 7,2007 is the best day to purchase something for myself as a gift or reward for hardwork. I chose Louis Vuitton because it gave me the sign from the Logo itself that LV is the perpect gift. From the popular monogram canvas i saw the triple seven from the logo and that is the sign.Louis Vuitton is my magic wallet,my wallet that never runs out of cash.LoL.hope it will not stop to produce more!!!



Facts on Louis Vuitton
From Wikipedia


Louis Vuitton Malletier, or sometimes shortened to LV, is a
French luxury fashion and leather goods brand and company, one of the main divisions of LVMH headquartered in Paris, France. Known especially for bags and trunks, the company collaborates with prominent figures for marketing and design (most notably supermodel Gisele Bündchen and fashion designer Marc Jacobs). Internationally renowned and highly regarded for name recognition in the fashion world, as a result LV has become one of the most counterfeited contemporary luxury brands.
LV is also one of the oldest fashion houses in the world, having started in 1854. It sells its products strictly through its own retail stores and online (as an effort against counterfeit). It primarily competes with
Versace, Gucci, Chanel, Prada and similar luxury fashion brands.



History
In the late 19th century, Louis Vuitton was a renowned trunks and luggage retailer. Entering into the 20th century, the company expanded in terms of locations and financial success. Beginning in the middle of the century, it entered the fashion world, integrating its signature Monogram Canvas into purses and bags. Its merger to create
LVMH became a milestone step, and from then on, LV came to acquire its luxury fashion image known today.
Prominent figures to have exclusively ordered Louis Vuitton luggage in history include
Congo explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, who ordered a combined trunk and bed from the company, and American conductor Leopold Stokowski (for his travels), whose traveling secrétaire was designed by Gaston-Louis Vuitton.

Biography of Louis Vuitton
Louis Vuitton (born,
August 4, 1821; died, February 27, 1892),future founder of his eponymous company, was born in Jura, France (now part of the commune of Lavans-sur-Valouse). In 1835, he moved to Paris. The trip from his hometown to Paris was over 400 kilometers (249 mi), and he traveled the distance by foot. On his way there, he picked up a series of odd jobs to pay for his journey.

There, he became an apprentice Layetier to prominent households.Because of his well established reputation in his field, Napoleon III of France appointed Vuitton as Layetier to his wife, Empress Eugénie de Montijo. Through his experience with the french aristocracy, he developed expert knowledge of what made a good travelling case. It is now that he begins to design his own luggage, setting the foundations for LV Co.
