What to know about Louis Vuitton

Trunk maker first, fashion house second

The house began in 1854 making travel trunks, and Monogram and Damier canvas luggage and bags like the Speedy, Neverfull and Alma remain the commercial core.

Two designers, two very different rooms

Nicolas Ghesquière has shaped womenswear since 2013; Pharrell Williams took over menswear in late 2023, pushing the men's line toward streetwear.

Scale beyond clothes and bags

As LVMH's flagship label it spans ready-to-wear, sneakers, watches, fine jewellery and a La Beauté makeup line launched in 2025, plus Murakami and Formula 1 tie-ins.

How Louis Vuitton fits

Overall fit

slightly small

Louis Vuitton ready-to-wear tends to follow a slim European cut that many find slightly small, while footwear is often reported as narrow and running short.

Tip: Consider sizing up in ready-to-wear and try footwear in person, as European luxury sizing tends to run narrow.
