Louis Vuitton:
At the age of 10, his mother passed away.
At the age of 13, he ran away from home and took three days walking to Paris.
He apprenticed Monsieur, a trunk maker, and then founded his own fashion house.
He created a trunk that was flat on the top, so people can actually stack trunks on each other.
During the war, his trunks were in high demands as they were easy to stack and travel with.
After Louis’ death, his son George took over his enterprise and came up with the beautiful LV monogrammed logo.
