For over 150 years, Louis Vuitton has been synonymous with elegance, craftsmanship, and luxury. Founded in 1821, Louis left home at just 13 to pursue his fortune in Paris, where he trained as an apprentice box-maker. By 1854, he had opened his first workshop with the endorsement of the French Royal Court, setting the foundation for one of Europe’s most prestigious fashion houses.

The Little Guide to Louis Vuitton traces this journey — from Louis’ pioneering monogrammed trunks, through the resilience of his son Georges and grandson Gaston-Louis (who steered the house through two world wars), to its transformation into the luxury brand we know today.

In 1987, the historic merger with Moët Hennessy formed the powerhouse LVMH, while the appointment of Marc Jacobs in 1997 propelled Louis Vuitton firmly into the world of modern fashion. Alongside fascinating history, the book features timeless quotes and insights from designers, tastemakers, and even cultural icons such as Kim Kardashian.

Beautifully illustrated and elegantly bound, this pocket-sized book is part of the acclaimed Little Books of Lifestyle series — a collectible library for lovers of style.
