The company pays considerable attention to the creation of travel products. In this article, we will look at the history of the creation of Louis Vuitton and review the popular models of suitcases.

About the brand

Louis Vuitton is the oldest fashion house with a unique history and numerous fans from all over the world. It is this brand that is one of the trendsetters that others follow. The brand was founded in 1854 by an apprentice from France Louis Vuitton, engaged in the manufacture of travel bags. He had the wonderful idea of ​​creating suitcases and bags with rounded edges. The idea pleased many people who began to order large quantities of interesting products.

Louis began to work entirely for himself, gradually expanding the range. Soon he became engaged in the manufacture of not only suitcases, but also women's and men's bags, which were marked with the abbreviation LV. Since the products were not cheap, they were available only to a limited number of people. Soon the presence of this or that Louis Vuitton item became a sign of wealth and showed that this is a person from high society. The recognizable print on bags and suitcases attracted more and more attention.

A big breakthrough for Louis was the use of a special waterproof canvas that served significantly better and longer than regular leather.

And in 1885, Louis Vuitton's range of suitcases was expanded with the Trianon model, which features a flat lid and metal corners to protect it from damage. Every year, the brand's assortment has become more and more, and the logo is more and more popular. Brand stores appeared not only in all major cities of France, but also in other countries of the world.Legendary bag models such as Speedy and Alma were created. Most fashionistas cannot imagine themselves without a roomy Neverfull.

Today Louis Vuitton offers its fans high quality products that will last for more than one year.... All products are made by hand. The brand produces about 300 customized products per year. The company's management to this day adheres to the techniques that Louis Vuitton himself used at one time, but in an improved form.

The brand's suitcases are impeccable. The structure is based on wood of three types: for the frame, a strong poplar is used, for the body and cover, the African okume, known for its durability. The decorative elements are made of light beech. The famous Louis Vuitton monogram was created in 1896 and has since become a sign of wealth and belonging to the upper class. Covering a suitcase with a monogrammed fabric takes a long time and painstaking work.

The fact is that each character should be perfectly aligned and even continue the drawing at the corners.

Before fixing the upholstery, the entire suitcase is covered with a layer of strong adhesive. The interior decoration of the products is done with the same thoroughness and quality as the exterior. Delicate fits snugly to the frame. Upon completion, the suitcases are decorated with braided stripes. At the very end, all accessories are covered with a special waterproof layer, which ensures the structural integrity of the material for many years. Immediately before being sent to the store, each model is carefully checked.

How to distinguish from a fake?

Louis Vuitton is officially recognized the most fake brand. Such a high demand for the brand's products did not go unnoticed by factories from Central Asia, which annually produce more than 5,000,000 copies. Some manufacturers make replicas so accurate that it is very difficult to distinguish them from the original. The cost of such products is much higher than that of conventional ones.

The only way not to run into a fake is to buy Louis Vuitton products in the brand's boutique or from official representatives. If the products are bought by hand, it is recommended to pay attention to some details. First of all, inspect the seams, they should be perfectly even and the same length. No sticking threads.

The sliders with locks should also be inspected for the presence of engraving with the brand name.

Next, study the canvas at the joints, the drawing should continue evenly. Everything inside must be done as efficiently as outside. Pay attention to the belts, they should be soft beige. Fakes are often found with yellow and pink belts. Unfortunately, making copies has reached such a high level that it is safer not to buy products from hands at all.
