Louis Vuitton is the most valuable luxury fashion brand in the world. Its CEO, Bernard Arnault, is also the second-wealthiest man on the planet with a net worth of around $180 billion dollars. Looking at Louis Vuitton’s business and financial success today, you would never guess that the company was started by a man who was homeless during his teenage years, had no education, and slept in a forest. Louis Vuitton is a true business rags-to-riches story. But the company would also be the subject of a hostile takeover, countless lawsuits, and a host of other controversies. This is the insane story of Louis Vuitton, and how a tiny family business evolved into one of the most powerful brands in the world. LVMH is now a giant luxury fashion conglomerate, and the story of Louis Vuitton & Bernard Arnault (The wolf in Cashmere) is a business mini movie I think you’re gonna enjoy! In this business success story, we'll look at: how did Louis Vuitton start? Why is Louis Vuitton so popular? What is the history of Louis Vuitton and LVMH? And lots more about Louis Vuitton's extremely profitable business. #Business #Entrepreneur #Magnates #VessiPartner #sponsored

[@likeablecloud2454]

@@robertcarroll6333 yeah but a true beneficiary is different.. look many companies can be taken over by others. The way I think it went down is like how my family sold their bakery off to nestle it's quite easy. So basically a lot of the time of an insider wants to take over a company they can start negotiations work up the latter etc. Many times when you hire someone of such nature they try to get an executive decision. Then they can make a decision as to if it's for the greater good of the company to sell etc to another. The way I think it went down was that all major aspects in the company sides with the other guy and put pressure for him to sell or transfer ownership. He should still be making money from the company. So it's not exactly that bad.

They’re like most businesses. They start our making a great product, then as they grow they’re either bought out, go public and/or there’s a change of upper management. they spend more on marketing and story telling/virtue signaling and less on product. At some point they move their production facility to China, while also lowering the quality of materials. they also hire a few celebrities as brand ambassadors.

That was cool🙏🏼 I just bought a LV bag for my girl🥰

[@homesteadgamer1257]

Honestly I probably won't buy any designer bags; I got too many damn pets at home. But the fact the actual Louis Vitton worked his way up the hard ladder to start the original company is inspiring, and the fact he made sure people trained 18 months till they were good enough to make a bag on their own really shows how much he valued quality over quantity. It's unfortunate the company ended up contracting with the Nazis, but we also have to consider without Nazi nuke tech, we wouldn't have microwaves or modern airplanes or x-rays or home computers. It's one of those things we have to weigh with our personal choices to use Nazi tech in our private homes and when traveling. Regardless of what LV company has become today, I think the original company and the actual LV man himself were admiral.

Story telling is so good

[@itsYourChance]

This was very fascinating. Good video

[@travollic7762]

If LV produces high quality goods? Yes I will totally agree BUT we can get something with the same or even better quality of goods from another not so well known brand or from private craftsmen (e.g. Handbag). What the customers pay mainly is for the brand.

As with other brands, that "went public", it became mere overpriced status symbol, fortified by some ridiculous restrictions (one friend was once barred from buying all stuff she wanted at once, because they apparently have some limitations of how many products 1 person can buy per 1 day),, that is slowly losing utility value… Personally, I dislike brands and all the pricey stuff I have either display no branding at all (particularly if it was made on order), or it display my personal branding. Sometimes, it puts me in a complicated situation - like when I was in need of new glasses for when I forgot to order new contact lenses. All of them were fugly and the least fugly had HUGE logo of Emporio Armani splashed all over them… Disgusting…

The ending was a disappointment, The person who stole this company from the family does not deserve to be one of the richest men in the world. I never really understood the hype with this company, but knowing this I will never support it. The original story, and the fact it stayed so long with the original family is inspiring.

Me too it discourages me from buying a luggage bag from them. Although I already owned one from years ago . I guess that will be my Last purchase . I guess I’m off to Gucci or Chanel

[@divx1001]

@@njrom2975 like the other commenter said, if you have the money, please consider ordering a custom made bag or luggage from artisan shops in France or Italy. A much better investment than LV or Chanel (quality wise).

I hope the company returns to the LV family one day but a great video!
