This captivating publication highlights the pivotal role of two individuals who transformed a modest 19th-century Parisian workshop into one of the world's most successful and renowned brands. The luxury house Louis Vuitton, renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and iconic design, was founded by its namesake in 1854. The first part of this book traces the innovations of Vuitton, which elevated the little-known art of the packer to the status as the leading luxury trunk maker in Paris. His clientele, during his lifetime, included the French nobility and the elite of a thriving empire. These chapters highlight unique examples of Vuitton's know-how, accompanied by the fashion of the time.

By analyzing two divergent but often parallel journeys, Louis Vuitton / Marc Jacobs is not only an in-depth study of the evolution of a luxury brand over the last 150 years, but also a celebration of technical and stylistics of the new century.
