Louis Vuitton's Bonafide Art of Luxury Living

The world’s most valuable luxury brand, Louis Vuitton has not just revolutionized the luxury market- with its striking garments, trademark bags and innovative apparel line but has also brought about a sense of refinement to the concept of luxury, from a customer’s prerogative. In the years since its creation, Louis Vuitton has become more than just a mere brand name. Today, it stands testament to the high quality appeal of luxury brands and represents the epitome of excellence, grandeur, finesse and craftsmanship through its products and services.



One of the major reasons as to why the brand continues to rule the luxury market lies beneath the fact that not much has changed in regards to the brands functionality. Most renowned businesses founded in 19th century often felt the need to redefine and bring about certain changes to their brand appeal. However, with Louis Vuitton that ideology simply did not hold true. The entire concept of the brand revolves around retaining the essence of what made the brand what it is in the first place. Be it using the same rendition of the logo since it was created or sticking with designs that consumers instantly recognize, Louis Vuitton continued to keep the brand identity as the fulcrum of every product.




A Brief look at Louis Vuitton’s Art of Business


Since its advent, the brand has followed quite an unconventional path be it in terms of business decisions or marketing strategies. The early days of the brand observed heightened focus on production, luxury quality and sales of goods. It mainly targeted travelers of high class since Louis Vuitton designer luggage was the first of its kind and was placed at a price point where it could only be afforded by higher classes of society. Therefore, there was a huge focus on targeting the well-to-do customers in order to create a niche for the brand name.

Eventually, the Golden age (1893-1936) is when the brand saw a huge leap in sales and became one of the finest luxury brand of the times. By this time, there were multiple stores in production and a more goal oriented value proposition. The target customer base had moved beyond just the high class and further attracted aristocrats, Imperial families, Cosmopolitan travelers and loyal clients.



Today, the brand has spread its credibility across a number of products other than bags and luggage. They worked on further developing their distribution channels by limiting the number of physical stores, working on global campaigns, creating social media channels to interact with their customer base and designing a website dedicated to the brands products and collections. Through multiple sponsorships and celebrity endorsements, Louis Vuitton continues to grow its reach as a luxury brand, gain a larger customer base, create experimental designer products and maintain a highly profitable business.
