Another day, another sublime Louis Vuitton book to grace your coffee table. Titled Louis Vuitton Manufactures, the history-thick narrative travels through time, carrying the founder’s expert techniques and savoir-faire into 2022 where Louis Vuitton is more than just a household name: it’s an aspirational phenomenon.
Brought to us fashion heads by Assouline Publishers from the reputable mind of author, historian, and journalist Nicholas Foulkes, it’s an inspiring piece of work that gives the reader the feeling of being truly immersed in the luxury universe of the house
The striking offering spotlights the regional experts and craftspeople of the brand, which nurtures innovation and individuality, deconstructing the traditional image of a workshop. Apparent in the historic value of its workshops across the breadth of France and beyond, Louis Vuitton’s ateliers from Geneva to Texas are equally extraordinary, highlighted throughout the book.
With a dedicated curation of exclusive photography, Louis Vuitton Manufactures is a homage to the upstanding craftsmanship that has defined the Paris atelier since its 1859 beginnings as an artisanal luggage label. From beginning to end, it expresses Louis Vuitton’s maker’s talents through the trunks, bags, fragrances, watches, shoes, high jewellery and ready-to-wear seen within. Be prepared to indulge in Louis Vuitton’s opulence with each unmissable image. With the flip of every page, celebrate a truly iconic heritage brand and get your bookworm on!
