Louis Vuitton
Louis Vuitton has long been one of the most prestigious luxury handbag brands. However, the brand did not begin with everyday bags; instead, it made robust travel pieces - which, according to Kanai, shoppers still seek on Google.
Vuitton quickly rose to prominence in his field and founded a store in Paris. Following years of success, Vuitton began experimenting with his baggage designs, eventually expanding his collection to include a dome-shaped purse designed expressly for Gabrielle Chanel. This was the first time a Vuitton bag was designed for personal use as opposed to travel. However, it wasn't until 1934 that Chanel granted permission for the bag to be mass-produced for the general public. It was modified to be more compact and streamlined for everyday usage and was known as the Squire until 1955 when it was renamed the Alma. Louis Vuitton increased its product portfolio due to the success of its smaller goods, including the Keepall in 1930, the Speedy in 1930, and the Noe in 1932. The demand for these bags was so high that they are still manufactured in a variety of materials and sizes.
1997 was a watershed moment for Louis Vuitton because it was the year the brand hired Marc Jacobs as its first creative director. Marc Jacobs created the brand's first ready-to-wear collection and developed the Monogram Vernis handbag collection. Later, in 2001, Stephen Sprouse collaborated with Marc Jacobs to create a range of traditional monogram canvas bags with neon graffiti. This is still one of the most sought-after collections among Louis Vuitton collectors today.
More changes were made as Louis Vuitton continued to thrive, such as Marc Jacobs stepping down as creative director and bag styles coming and disappearing. Louis Vuitton bags, on the other hand, have remained wardrobe stalwarts across explosive trends. The decadent designs are naturally durable and timelessly flexible, guaranteeing to stay in vogue forever and style effortlessly with one's existing wardrobe.
