Established in 1854, Louis Vuitton designed and introduced flat-bottom luggage trunks made with trianon canvas.
It soon became the favorite of Empress Eugenie and the brand took off as the luggage choice for the wealthy. In 1867, the company won a bronze medal at the World Exposition in Paris and its influence spread beyond France.
In 1885, Louis Vuitton opened its first overseas store in London. Following the death of his father in 1892, George Vuitton began a campaign to build the company into a worldwide corporation. In 1893, it entered the U.S market and, in 1896, the company launched its signature Monogram Canvas and secured worldwide patents for it.
It has since become the classic symbol of the Louis Vuitton brand.
