Louis Vuitton Shoes Second Hand

The King of Baggage

Louis Vuitton was an esteemed French fashion designer best known for founding his eponymous fashion house Louis Vuitton. At the age of 13 Vuitton travelled across France for two years, taking odd work where he could get it. He took an apprenticeship as a box-maker while in Paris, and quickly garnered a reputation amongst the upper-class as one of the best box-makers in Paris. He opened his own workshop at the age of 33, and eventually began making steam-trunks and travel equipment. He was hired as the personal box-maker and packer for the Empress of France and was given the task of packing some of the most beautiful clothes in France. He passed away in 1892 aged 70, and worked all the way up to his death.

Bringing Louis Vuitton Into The 21st Century

Since its inception in 1854, the house of Louis Vuitton has enjoyed the status of one of the most trusted and prestigious fashion labels in the world. Beginning with luggage trunks, Louis Vuitton spent 150 years growing and expanding, catering to a huge and esteemed customer base. The brand branched out to a range of bags under the guidance of the Vuitton family. Eventually they began producing leather goods such as purses, before finally launching their first ready-to-wear collection of Louis Vuitton shoes, clothing and other items in 1997, under designer Marc Jacobs. Today, the brand has been hard at work collaborating with the likes of Kanye West to release lines of Louis Vuitton trainers and other items.

Defining Status Through Stunning Shoes
