From 1854 to the present day, the epic of the Vuitton house is unique. At Paul Bert Serpette, two antique dealers retrace his story through the trunks but also the bags and small leather goods: Elisio Das Neves and Alain Zisul, whose father was the first antique dealer to market vintage Vuitton luggage in the 1960s. Hui, it is at home that the famous house comes to supply to enrich its collections and to decorate its shops all the world. Their eye and their knowledge are precious and sought after. With a glance, they give you a suitcase: a canvas Gray Trianon? The trunk is one of the first creations of the house. With stripes, it dates from 1870. The checkerboard, appears, in 1888 and it is in 1896 that is born the mythical monogram. Woven until 1905, then painted in stencils and finally printed. Entering the collective unconscious, the Vuitton fabric belongs to the French heritage. It is displayed on the Champs Élysées as it appears on the handbags, redesigned by contemporary artists, from the graffiti artist Stephen Sprouse to Murakami. Longevity, continuity and modernity are the watchwords of Louis Vuitton, who has always been able to adapt to the spirit of his time. First Transatlantic, railway launch and aviation development, no evolution can escape him, even the advent of Internet culture.
