They forced a lot of smaller companies to go under their banner. Like Luxottica. Also, LV ate good food bcoz you paid 5k for a bag.

      @@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.

    The beginning success of this company was awesome and it made me root for them, but when the family lost the business and Bernard took over, the family built company connection was lost and I kinda hope it falls off soon. Sneaking behind the owners back to get majority stake is scummy and I don’t respect that type of hustle.

    My mum was friend with his goddaughter. Lovely, elegant old lady ( I was in my early teens at the time, I am now 51!). She was already very old at the time but she had a spark in her eyes and hadn’t lost her femininity nor her sense of style. I remember her showing me a hand bag he had made especially for her birthday when she was a young woman. Beautiful chocolate brown thing. The most remarkable thing is that it wasn’t covered with the LV letters. Just an elegant, non assuming and high quality hand made bag. One of a kind in that respect. Nowadays a lot of people buy them so they can be seen with a designer bag. Sad. I prefer the ‘ insolence’ of luxury that doesn’t need to announce itself.

      Wrong. Running water was pretty standard by then and there was plumbing. Plumbing was indeed an integral part of the redesign of Paris by Napoleon and there was water being supplied on tap.

    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.

    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 buys them a few more years until one day you see them in Ross or Marshall’s.
