Louis Vuitton
Louis Vuitton built a design house that has stood the test of time with its luxury leather goods, fashion accessories, prêt-à-porter apparel and jewelry. When you walk into the Louis Vuitton store on Wilshire Boulevard you will know why the brand has gained such popularity. Many of the company's products utilize the signature brown Damier and Monogram Canvas materials, both of which were first used in the late 19th century, and nearly every item features the eponymous LV initials. Louis Vuitton's signature leather goods are considered a status symbol around the globe and are highly regarded in the fashion world. The company's iconic Monogram Canvas design can be considered the first designer label in contemporary history; the design was created in 1896 by Vuitton's son Georges and was intended to prevent counterfeiting.
