Vuitton: A Biography of Louis Vuitton

by Fergus Mason, LifeCaps (Editor)

In 1835, at the age of 13, a young boy walked nearly 300 miles to Paris; he worked odd jobs and did whatever it took to survive. He eventually learned a box making. Before long, the young boy had earned enough to open his own box-making store. The tale may seem a bit unremarkable until you consider the boy’s Louis Vuitton. You know the brand, but not the man; take a look at the genius that created one of the most recognizable brands in the world with this biography.

“These [luxury] brands mostly once were the product of a single man or woman with a vision... in the beginning, one creative genus came up with a product that changed the way things were done… And then are some companies that were created from nothing but one man with no wealth but a ton of vision. The most remarkable of these has to be Louis Vuitton.”

I knew most of the information in this short, informative biography, but the quote above is why I like them, and specifically why I like Louis.

A short and sweet insight into the life of Louis Vuitton. While an easy read and an insightful story, this book lacked depth and content. A mixture of referenced facts found online and in magazine and newspaper articles; unfortunately, it contains a substantial amount of what seems like supposition. Worth it for a quick and vacuous read to outline an inspiring character in history that deserves a more comprehensive and detailed book.

book was good but very short. Would have liked to have had more about the company later in his life
