Louis Vuitton is one of the world’s most famous designers of bags, handbags and luggage. The French fashion house has produced stylish hand-crafted luggage since the late 19th century, and joined the fashion world by expanding their business and producing fashion-orientated leather wallets and handbags in the mid 20th century. Louis Vuitton handbags have become legendary, representing designer quality as well as unmistakable celebrity glamour. Hollywood stars and celebrities such as Madonna, Rihanna, Paris Hilton, Uma Thurman and Scarlett Johansson have all been photographed with Louis Vuitton handbags.
The most recognizable feature of Louis Vuitton purses is the classic LV initials monogrammed canvas print which was patented by the company in 1896, and is still featured throughout the Louis Vuitton range of handbags and luggage today. While this classic monogrammed print has been the fashion house’s signature design for over a century, and is still used extensively throughout its collection, the brand has recently begun to produce more colorful designs under the brilliant leadership of creative director Marc Jacobs. Their summer 2009 collection featured bold colors, leopard-skin prints and trim, and a new, more upbeat spin on the trademark monogrammed canvas print.
Louis Vuitton has become such a popular and sought-after brand in the world of exclusive designer handbags that fans of the famous French fashion house have created a vast demand for Louis Vuitton replica handbags. These fashionable imitations bear the same monogrammed print and distinct Louis Vuitton style, at a fraction of the cost of the genuine article.
