Fashion Fridays Louis Vuitton Love


It's Fashion Friday!  I'm so excited for you all to link up for the 3rd week of the feature.  This week, I decided to show some love for my favorite handbag designer of all time, Louis Vuitton.  


There's so much history to the Louis Vuitton name.  Louis Vuitton began in 1896.  Their logo represents a Japanese-inspired flower motif.  The logo was created to prevent counterfeiting.  Although they have gone to great lengths to prevent counterfeiting of their bags, only 1% of LV's in circulation are reportedly authentic.  (Louis Vuitton History) 


The company itself was started by one man, Louis Vuitton himself.  The company began with their famous trunks which were carried by all the elite.  After Louis Vuitton's death in 1892, his son branched out to make the company a corporation.  


The Louis Vuitton building opened in Champs-Elysees in 1914.  Other locations opened all over the world, and the brand quickly became one of the staples in fashion.  The company continues to expand and create new bags and trends every year.  


Do you have a Louis Vuitton bag?  I have a few and have always loved the versatility and fact that they never go out of style.  Many love Louis Vuitton for their shoes, clothing, jewelry, etc.  What do you love about them?






I still have my Camo Murakami limited edition for sale if you're interested.  You can check it out here, and then email me if you have questions.  I also have some good news on the novel front!  Inslee Haynes finished my cover art and it is amazing!  We are all set for May 6 release on Amazon!  Have a great Friday friends, and don't forget to link up (and if you do, please mention the link up and grab the button!)
