  • Louis Vuitton is the No.1 luxury brand in the world - valued at over $30 billion. Its history dates back to the 19th century and begins with a homeless teenager who could only dream of success. With no money or food, he worked odd jobs with artisans and craftsmen to survive, barely making any money but learned valuable skills that led to pioneering modern luggage and creating a billion-dollar empire.

    Love hearing that he, Coco Chanel, & others came from humble beginnings to luxury success. That’s why it’s interesting when sales people judge those they think don’t belong in those stores, little do they know the customers actually have the same spirit of the founder of the brand while the salesperson can probably only afford it after an employee discount.

    I enjoyed learning the history of the Louis Vuitton luxury brand.
    A story both sad, inspiring, motivating, brings success to a 13 year old who left home penniless, had struggles, ran with an idea , became successful for the second time after the war completely destroyed his business the first time. Working hard paid off and in today’s world he still remains a success story and the brand still sells. So much respect and love for this man 🙏♥️

      One of his qualities i like is he does not promise outrageous returns or 100% wins. he tells you how it is. just follow his instructions. received $4,300 last thursday, cant wait for this thursday

    I worked as a truck driver for them. I couldnt believe people actually paid so much for the product. All in all on good days my route only took 6hrs and i had all day to be at peace. Money was no longer an issue. Best job ive had, im glad i get to learn who they were now.

      In a way, I disagree because unlike a lot of parents, he got to watch his son become a brilliant craftsman and I’m sure he did not fear that when he died that his son wouldn’t have any problem stepping into his shoes. Louis Vuitton was a very proud man and enjoyed seeing his passion come to life. Even if that only meant for a little while, it’s more than most people get to see. My dad , a brilliant Stanford grad, who was also successful, always said “do what you love, what you are passionate about, and the money will follow.” So true !
