Details Personnels:

At only fourteen years old I walked from Anchay to Paris by foot (275 miles) to become more attatched to my dream. At home, all I had was my dad, a carpenter.  I started out helping making suitcases in Paris in 1854 for Monsieur Marachal, but as I  got older, I created my own company, which quickly became very popular. One reason for becoming popular was because I designed and packaged bags for Napoleon III's wife, Empress Eugenie. In 1860, I moved my company to Asnieres because business was doing so well and was getting bigger. After many succcessful years, other designers attempted to replicate my famous design, so in 1876, I made a change. The canvas bag was called "Trianon Grey". Still, I had a problem with the imitators, but sadly I died before I could solve  the problem. My son Georges would take over for me.

Mon Influence sur la Culture Francaise:

       I have inspired many current professional and aspiring designers. Although I still have many imitators, my work and my company’s work will always be original and different. I continue to live now through my company. I was one of the earliest successful, French, entrepreneurs to become a world-famous designer. I set examples and a precedent for followers such as Christian Dior and Coco Chanel. My journey and dream towards being a good entrepreneur prove that dreams can come true. The core values, and high-standard, custom-made bags and accessories that my company and I have implemented has encouraged and enhanced French culture.

       As you may have or have not noticed, the “Louis Vuitton Co.” has a new motto that puts core values into the main model. The core values suggest always using the finer things in life. I want to attract customers by explaining to them how one should always expect the best and only get the best to truly express themselves. French culture values high-fashion and I influence and support it by creating one-of-a-kind, rich bags and accessories. I take a great part (in spirit now) with producing the International fashion shows in Paris.

      I have made an impact on French culture by giving you what you want. I am different from other French designers because my products are made with your picks but still I kept my originality. I stayed consistent but still try to be modern. I made custom-fit things but still made it so that you would buy it. I introduced values to French fashion. I wanted to erase the limit of shopping by making it more important to be happy and expressing yourself than to think about the negative things. My influence to French culture includes helping to give Paris the "fashion capital" name. By putting core values into high-fashion, I brought more respect and positivity to French fashion and French culture.

Notes:

The "Louis Vuitton" collection continues because my son Georges took over after me officially making my bags designer label. After Georges passed away, his son, Gaston-Louis began to further my business also.Fifth-generation heir to my company is Patrick-Louis Vuitton, he is another owner and designer for the "Louis Vuitton Company". My company joined with America's Cup to create Vuitton Cup. For eleven years now, my designs have been helped by Marc Jacobs who also added clothing to the official designs. With all the success that my company has, I am proud to say, I was the founder.
