You’ll Never Find A Louis Vuitton Marked Down, But You Can Buy Your Quality Pre-Loved Bag At A Fraction Of The Price

Louis Vuitton was a visionary when it came to the entire manufacturing process of luggage. The man behind the globally adorned brand started his working career at the age of 16 in the humble position of being a trunk maker. Later on, he opened a store in 1854, but only started to manufacture handbags much later on. The world’s fair has been his inspiration to try his skilled hands at these premium quality accessories, ready to compliment even the most luxurious attire in 1892.

During this period, he got his biggest break when he was employed as the box-maker and packer to Empress Eugenie de Montijo of France, wife to the iconic historical figure, Napoleon Bonaparte.

The fashion brand is a global icon and part of its allure is the many interesting facts which make it so desired. One of the facts which are rather out of the ordinary is that after every season unsold bags are all sent back to the factory. Here they shred and burn the bags. It is something which is quite a shame considering that every bag is handmade with the most precise skill, taking up to a week to complete. Yet, the fashion brand follows this method to ensure that their bags sustain their value. Hence, if you are keen on purchasing a bag from a former season, the only way for you to buy this bag is when you opt to purchase a pre-loved item.

More interesting facts which the team willingly share is that one of the reasons why these desired bags are so pricy is because all Louis Vuitton bags are both fireproof and waterproof. Thus, these bags are more than mere fashion icons, but also offer secure protection of your belongings. In fact, every bag undergoes vigorous testing to ensure it delivers the desired quality. The story goes that they load these bags with three and a half kilograms of weight and then dropped it from a height of half a meter for four days non-stop. If the bag survives this testing and arises once again unscathed after the four days, it moves on to even more testing. Next, they blast the fabric with ultraviolet light to make sure it won’t fade. Every zipper needs to open 5 000 times to be sure they are as good as their very prominent clients expect. Once the bag has passed all these tests, it is good enough for the market.
