Even though Louis Vuitton is owned by the French conglomerate LVMH, there's still a family feeling at the ancestral home and workshops where trunks and handbags are made in a village outside of Paris. Come along for a special tour.
A variety of exotic leathers, including crocodile, two types of alligator, python, stingray and ostrich, are used for handbags. Less exotic leathers, like lamb and goat for linings and veal and cowhide for the outside of the handbag, are also used. All are stored in a temperature-controlled room.
