I don't really care about louis vuitton or fashion history in general really but this was super interesting ! (and as a French person I really appreciate that you try to pronounce the words and names correctly, sometimes it is a bit off but most of the time you do really well)
The "coffee table" that has been in my family room my entire life is very clearly a trunk. It is made of wood has locks and can be opened. A few years ago my mom discovered it was a Louis Vuitton trunk. We know it is a Louis Vuitton trunk because even though it does not have the classic logo on it it does have the Louis Vuitton label on the bottom. We do not know when it is dated too but both of us believe that it can be dated to the 1800s. Knowing how old this trunk might be is incredible. It is in great condition and honestly shows how these things were made to last.
Honestly Luke this video was on a whole new level. The amount of research, and pictures to tell the story. You really made an amazing little documentary. SOOO GOOD.
The iconic Louis Vuitton monogram’s icons are actually from a church that has the icons on its walls. And the letters LV was added to make it a complete monogram. I read this in a pottery barn LV history book somewhere, but I can’t find any pictures of the church with the icons online
Please do more fashion history videos! It’s very interesting content and I enjoy watching history videos in general. They’re even more fascinating when combined with fashion content though. :)
Baguette here and I see you making an effort with the french names, you were pretty spot on almost all of them, except for Nicolas Ghesquière, which is still a bit off but I see that you really tried and it's a bit of an unfair name, I think only baguettes would be able to say that 100% correctly. Still, good job on all the others (and there were a lot) so take this as encouragement because I still remember the Jeanne D'arc Alexander McQueen video hahaha, you've progressed a lot. Bon travail Luke !
I love how these fashion houses history shows the evolution of the world in modernity with its roots in the industrial revolution, the rise of the self made wealth and the boom of the 1990s with globalist age. Its crazy to know how recent these developments for crazy fashion shows really are.
I NEED you to do more history videos like this! I'm just getting into the fashion industry and this video has been really helpful for me to understand the history and general idea of LV. Would love to see some more of these videos!
Bring back Marc! Also I didnt know the Petite Malle was created under Nicholas. Beautiful. I have a Keepall 45 and vintage Beverely bag + numerous LV accessories. It is all very worth it and luxurious.
Excellent writing! It read like a essay paper that had a strong conclusion and reminded us of the journey from start to finish in two sentences. I loved your editing. Great video
OMG,This Video on the History of Louis Vuitton was Absolutely Fabulous..I Really enjoyed it A lot.Thank you for giving us a great Commentary..I have a lot of their Bags and Wallets,No shoes yet..
ControVirgil 😹 The brand's cohesiveness went out the window post the 90s. All collections reflect the CD and not the brand somehow. However, all the artist and brand collaborations epic!
that denim bag at 16:47...my mom has that bag and still loves it to this day. the only luxury handbags I own are LV, so I was really interested in watching this! I was so surprised, yet not that surprised hearing about world war two.
Yay I love these fashion history videos! Thanks for this! As for suggestions, maybe... Gucci? It's got murder, greed and Tom Ford popularising heroin chic in the late 90s...
Before watching your videos, I had a very narrow view about luxury brands and the designers that associated with them. Your channel in general and these absolutely fucking fantastic history videos in specific have broadened my perception. The inspirations, intricacies, circumstances and genius of the individuals behind these brands and their contribution to the industry and society in general are just so damn interesting and nuanced. Thankyou for redefining the fashion industry for me. Love from India ❤️
Just about choked on my dinner when I saw the text flash at 9:57 then again a bit later when you're talking about the current owner just I'm losing it man.
An A+ for effort in pronunciation. you may also be interested to know that Louis Vuitton also made trunks and even folding camp beds in aluminium for touring in Africa as the alloy is light weight and far more resistant to insects
Well one correction, the Vuitton heirs don't run the company, but they are still minority stake holders and still oversee directly production for the traditional hard-sided trunks and exotic leathers handbag production for the brand.
Damn, MJ was with them for so long. I feel like he was the new guy not that long ago. It blows my mind how the Murakami collab was 22 years ago, because I remember wanting one as a teen, which still feels like not that far away? I kind of stopped following fashion as closely like 10 years ago and the escalator runway seems just like yesterday. I love how much color he brought to the brand and his willingness to experiment with and innovate new monogram prints and runways. Great video!
Thanks for a great informative and well designed video. Please keep up the good work and maybe try to tackle Hermes and Fendi,,,XOXO from an LV lover in Tel Aviv :)
@HauteLeMode I highly recommend you watch documentary "Luxury: behind the mirror of high-end fashion". In a nutshell, high-end fashion and fast fashion aren't (unfortunately) so different at all
I find myself backtracking HauteLeModes content more often than most. When some creators splice up the info with their own personality its forced at times. Thats not the case with this channel. Great job again HLeM you're my fashion cumpuss🧭🤩😳😨
Scrolling through my feed being like Ergh nothing much to watch and then I see this pretty vid from 5 Days Ago?! Happy but pouty at the algorithm for making me wait this long 😋
Can we make this required viewing for all the "yahoo, new money, label whore, I don't really know WTF this is but everyone else is wearing it" TH-camrs? KTHX!
We stan a man who can give us all the tea on Louis Vuitton while having stains on his shirt
Right
The distressed look is all the rage rn
It’s powder - I think?
Only what a stain can easy be a fashion trend
Well you shouldn’t
I don't really care about louis vuitton or fashion history in general really but this was super interesting ! (and as a French person I really appreciate that you try to pronounce the words and names correctly, sometimes it is a bit off but most of the time you do really well)
the only history teacher that doesn't make me sleepy✨
This jajajaja
You should try Lucy Worsley

LV was at it’s best when Marc was there hands down. Just like how Galliano was for Dior. Yeah I’m stuck in those era 😬
We all are
The Marc Jacobs era neon overprint bags are life
@Arf Arf Awoo yes lets be friends drop the insta
Arf Arf Awoo I’m down! 😋
me too gurrrll
Lmao at balenciaga not even caring that there was a whole ass war going on
Yeah man Cristobal balenciaga didn’t even give a fuck.
Building a gazebo during the civil war vibes
@@ameliajames1463 how would you like to be indoors and out of doors all at once?
Love this as a series! There are so many houses with a shady history, Hermès next please! 🍵👀
Like that secret Birkin made of human skin on the order of a Saudi princess.
Nikola whaaaaatttt?!?! Spill the T
Nikola where did you find this information?
@@48mavemiss2 It's a well known rumour from the 1990s.
Nikola ahh- that’s creepy. I was a small child then and did care for fashion until I was in my mid/late 20’s. I’ll look into it.
The iconic Louis Vuitton monogram’s icons are actually from a church that has the icons on its walls. And the letters LV was added to make it a complete monogram. I read this in a pottery barn LV history book somewhere, but I can’t find any pictures of the church with the icons online
Maybe it's a Cathedral. It looks familiar and lots of French are Catholics.
I found that monograms are inspired by medieval art and Doge's palace in Venice. It has similar looking things carved on its front.

Yes am early. Please do a video on underrated fashion brands who deserve more hype.
Gurrrl i am so early
Telfar
Yeah! He should do one on young up and coming designers!
Did this man just make the Louis Vuitton print sound... interesting?
He did. He did indeed. It’s tacky to me cause of the over saturated knock offs out there😑
Luke is out here doing God's work by teaching the Children ... Yes god
The fast-paced and informative spilling of historical tea is so fun to watch!
IDK why but the sudden shifts to french accent cracks me up 😆 But at least she tried 👍🏽
i'm damned if i do and damned if i don't :(
HauteLeMode oh no hunny you did great. Props for going back and forth 🇺🇸 🔁 🇫🇷 many times
Can't wait to derail my AP World class with Louis Vuitton's history
Edit: omg ive never gotten this many likes- thank you 🥺🥺🥺
Make them CHOKE ON YOUR ELEGAAANZAAAAA
This episode taught me more than years of school in a much condensed and compelling format
I love how these fashion houses history shows the evolution of the world in modernity with its roots in the industrial revolution, the rise of the self made wealth and the boom of the 1990s with globalist age. Its crazy to know how recent these developments for crazy fashion shows really are.
1:23 this guy was walking for three years wuuut
I wasn't interested in this particular history lesson but I was told there would be tea so... 🍵
We need a history of Yohji Yamamoto and anti fashion 🙌🏻
I NEED you to do more history videos like this! I'm just getting into the fashion industry and this video has been really helpful for me to understand the history and general idea of LV. Would love to see some more of these videos!
luke i am begging you to making this into a series if you haven't thank you so much for your service sir we don't deserve it but we still need it
crash course history who? i only know hautel'histoire
Bring back Marc! Also I didnt know the Petite Malle was created under Nicholas. Beautiful. I have a Keepall 45 and vintage Beverely bag + numerous LV accessories. It is all very worth it and luxurious.

This was incredibly interesting, entertaining and educational! I would love to see more videos on the history of other brands, or fashion styles 😊
Well-informed, well-edited and concise vid on LV's history. A must-watch reference for luxury brand newbies!
I love when you make history videos! It's why I started watching your content in the first place. Here's hoping for more soon. 😍
Luke! Give us Jamie Chua’s closet reaction, please!!! We can’t wait any longer!
one of the best videos you've ever made, luke!
Great job! Loved the video. Appreciated Marc Jacobs’ reign as LV’s creative director even more with this video...
that denim bag at 16:47...my mom has that bag and still loves it to this day. the only luxury handbags I own are LV, so I was really interested in watching this! I was so surprised, yet not that surprised hearing about world war two.
This was great!!! I subscribed!!! (I'd thought l was already subscribed!!!).
REALLY enjoying your videos!!!! 🌺
MORE OF THESE PLEASE!! ❤
So pleased to see you in BoF, love everything you do x
The reference to the ebaums end of the world video gave me life. Classic.
Yay I love these fashion history videos! Thanks for this! As for suggestions, maybe... Gucci? It's got murder, greed and Tom Ford popularising heroin chic in the late 90s...
I watched a 12 min ad cause it’s the only way I can spend on “Luis Vuitton” anything
Hey........... how y'all doin

I've been waiting for this and here I am, a minute after it's posted
Yaaaas! I've been looking forward to this one since you announced it! I loooooove this series. You teach me so much!
As a 2nd gen LV customer I thought I knew the history but I learned so much. I’ll show more reverence for my mom’s LV trunks. Thanks Luke. 👏🏾
This types of videos are my favourite on your channel. You know how to make education going without being boring. 👩🎓💚
it's sad that family doesn't have the control of the company today, it is their legacy
i love this i hope he makes it a series

This was such a great video! Thanks so much for putting so much work into these. Super accessible.

I would love to hear about Goyard from you. This was so well put together. I’ve been really fascinated about Goyard recently. I love your videos!

The thing about quarantine is that I'm always early to videos now.
