Louis Vuitton (1821-1892) began by making suitcases, and was hired as a personal packer to Empress Eugenie. Thanks to this, he gained access to the network of contacts of the aristocracy that provided him with work. In 1854 he opened his shop with suitcases in Paris, in 1858 he came up with the revolutionary idea of a flat, square cover in canvas on the suitcase. Vuitton's classic monogram was launched in 1896 by Vuitton's son George. Even today, the monogram adorns Louis Vuitton bags and leather products, and over time, Louis Vuitton bags have come to be a symbol of luxury.
