Louis Vuitton: The Birth of Modern Luxury (2005)

Comprehensive volume delves into the history of the House of Vuitton, exploring its evolution over 150 years in the context of societal, cultural, and artistic changes. The book is richly illustrated with archival art, historical images, product designs, sketches, and advertising materials. It examines the contributions of the company’s first three leaders—founder Louis Vuitton, his son Georges, and his grandson Gaston—and discusses the brand’s significant growth, including its 1987 merger with Moët-Hennessy to form LVMH. Condition: slight waving to front endpaper, otherwise very good.
