Louis Vuitton heritage showcased through craftsmanship and vintage pieces

The heritage and craftsmanship of the luxury brand Louis Vuitton remain centered in Asnières-sur-Seine, France. Established in 1859, the workshop in Asnières serves as a site for producing bespoke trunks and remains a hub for innovation, including the development of the Monogram canvas and specialized luggage.

The brand's historical significance was highlighted on the German television show ‘Bares für Rares’, where a vintage Louis Vuitton travel trunk was presented for appraisal. Despite showing signs of wear and age, the piece was identified by expert Colmar Schulte-Goltz as a significant piece of fashion history, featuring the iconic monogram and hand-painted canvas over a wood and metal construction.
