Louis Vuitton: The humble origins of the world's most coveted and copied ...

From a round, oversized chauffeur’s case to house a spare tire and a change of clothes, to a handsome tea service set ordered by the Maharaja de Baroda, among the most fascinating objects in the exhibit are the one-of-a-kind Vuitton leather-clad branded boxes specially designed to conform to the needs of their clients. For the traveling reader who didn’t want to delay progress on Proust’s lengthy opus In Search of Lost Time, Vuitton made a small, monogram leather box to house all the volumes of the world’s longest novel. Today, the brand’s special-order atelier, located in the former Vuitton family residence in Asnières-sur-Seine, is run by Vuitton’s great-great-grandson, Patrick. It is the only production factory under the direct stewardship by a member of the Vuitton clan. To this day, one can still order any kind of case to fulfill any conceivable need or whimsy, even a small box to house your child’s baby teeth like one customer requested—anything but an exact replica of an existing Louis Vuitton case, an exhibition docent told Quartz. Anti-counterfeit monogram Copycats and counterfeiters have plagued the Louis Vuitton brand through much of its 161-year history. Vuitton’s groundbreaking flat-top travel trunk—the template for the modern luggage—became such a coveted status symbol in Victorian-era circles that many of his competitors began to copy his design. As an anti-counterfeiting measure, Vuitton introduced new patterns to distinguish his trunks: a stripped canvas called Rayée, followed by a checkered pattern called Damier. The iconic LV monogram with the Japanese-style flowers and quatrefoils was introduced in 1896, four years after Vuitton passed away. Created by his son Georges, who took over the business, the custom step-and-repeat geometric motif was meant to be the brand’s most unique and distinguishing pattern. Ironically enough, the monogram pattern has become one of the most replicated branding insignias today—from cheap iPhone cases to waffle makers to body tattoos—as a graphic shortcut for luxury and wealth. The World Customs Organisation ranks Louis Vuitton as the sixth-most counterfeited brand in the world, but with the availability of fake Louies in so many markets and street vendors worldwide, including peddlers online, it would seem much higher. For discerning but budget-strapped buyers, there are even classes of replica Louie Vuitton with the “most authentic fakes,” (aka Class A bags) commanding higher prices. Shanghai LV.(Reuters / Aly Song) LVMH, Louis Vuitton’s parent company, is aggressive about cracking down on trademark violators and counterfeiters, as well as their outlets, like eBay. To protect its brand equity, valued at $28.1 billion, the company earmarks €15 million annually for its robust legal department, according to Forbes. Conceivably, a tenth room exploring the counterfeiting phenomena so core to the brand from the start could have elevated curator Olivier Saillard’s excellently staged exhibition from a worthwhile, yet unsurprising, showroom experience to one that explores Louis Vuitton’s rooted cultural resonance across economic...
