World of luxury: Exclusive look inside the Louis Vuitton home and workshops
Jul 9, 2013 | 10:12 am
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.
Also in 2009, Louis Vuitton made a special case to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Red Cross [http: /hypebeast.com/2009/11/louis-vuitton-red-cross-monogram-medicine-box]. Seeking to interpret the original first aid kit, it featured a series of red and silver aluminum medicine boxes arranged in the shape of the cross. It is on display at the atelier with a number of other one-of-a-kind trunks. Custom orders can be placed at any Vuitton store but must be approved before work begins. The price varies depending on the intricacy of the project and materials.
