Brand profile · Luxury Brands Online editorial team

Louis Vuitton was founded in 1821, and in 1854, Louis Vuitton finally opened his first store in Paris. Louis Vuitton bags are probably the most notable products in the Louis Vuitton line, but there are other very popular items as well, including clothing, sunglasses, jewelry, etc. There are Louis Vuitton handbags, Louis Vuitton purses, and Louis Vuitton wallets, all in different sizes. The lines in the entire Louis Vuitton collection for handbags, bags, purses, and wallets include: the monogram canvas, the monogram groom, the monogram denim, the monogram mini, the monogram mini lin, the monogram multicolore, the monogram vernis, the damier canvas, the suhali leather, the epi leather, the Antigua, the monogram perfo, and a few others such as nomade, Antigua, and trianon. Within each of these lines are many diverse styles of bags, wallets, and other types of accessories for handbags. Louis Vuitton bags and Louis Vuitton handbags range in prices depending on many factors, such as color, size, style, and whether you choose an extra feature on the bag or not. There are bags that start from over $600 and go up to over $1500. The Louis Vuitton purses and small clutches are less expensive than the handbags and bags; they range from over $300 to under $700. Usually, the bags and purses are brown and are covered with the Louis Vuitton monogram, but there is also the denim line, the multicolored line, and the new Fall 2006 line, which includes even reds, blacks, and purples in the color scheme. Each one of these styles has different wallets accordingly, and almost any bag has a matching wallet to go with it. These wallets range in prices, anywhere from around $200 to over $600. Many different types of Louis Vuitton fabric exist in different colors, including brown, white and even blueberry. There are even Louis Vuitton car interiors now, which are becoming increasingly popular, especially amongst the younger crowd who wish to cover their car seats with Louis Vuitton. There exist many Louis Vuitton replicas, most especially replica bags and wallets, but it is noticeable to anyone who recognizes the Louis Vuitton monogram, that it is a fake, and in fact, not real.
