The most common trunks of the era were round, which weren’t ideal for toting and storing. Long before his brand would become known globally for its exemplary top-handle bags and stylish totes, Vuitton produced stackable and rectangular trunks. The craftsman opened a humble workshop on rue Neuve des Capucines and advertised his services with a small poster that read: “Securely packs the most fragile objects. In 1854, Vuitton launched his namesake company. He toiled as a box maker and packer for more than a decade and built relationships with royals and members of the upper class while working for the empress of France, Eugenie de Montijo. When he arrived in Paris, Vuitton made a living with his hands. With stops along the way to make money so that he could forge ahead, the journey took a couple of years, but reward was close at hand. The young Vuitton was 13 at the time and would need to travel on foot to get to the capital, which was hundreds of miles away. The company’s modest origins can be traced back to when its founder, Louis Vuitton (1821–92), wishing to free himself from the conventional lifestyle in his provincial French city of Anchay as well as a difficult stepmother, left in the early 1830s to make a new life in Paris. I just loved it when you had your boyfriend with you to guess bag prices.The story behind iconic luxury brand Louis Vuitton - best known for its esteemed handbags, crossbody bags, leather goods, ready-to-wear clothing and more - is one of craft and innovation in the worlds of fashion, jewelry and furniture. the very best of congratulations to you and I hope you continue with your very fine style of you tube videos. but I did buy cash after saving for my milestone birthday and 2nd graduation. but I think I need to space my purchases from now on, having acquired hermes and chanel in one year. I need t carry lot of papers, so I have also considered the LV soft lockit. and when it all went well, I did buy a chanel jumbo black caviar in single flap, partly inspired by your recommendation. I could not even get on the so called waiting list and finally went for a preloved one, first time I sent it back as it did not match description and the 2nd time it worked well with a firm called collective square in France. what you stated about the begging process is so very true. have you considered hermes victoria or bolide, which are less expensive than kellys or birkins (relative to hermes prices of course) bolide is a bit like vuitton alma. Just a thank you for your very sensible and informative reviews. For more of my rambles, my video review is here □ This has turned into a bit of a ramble but I thought I would share my real concerns and thoughts about the bag. Would I like to use the Soft Lockit for more than this? Sure, but I don’t because I have so many other bags which are more suitable. act as a smart, refined bag that can be used for posh work events. Now, I know a Soft Lockit and a Birkin/ Kelly are very different bags but for me, they kind of fulfill the same purpose, i.e. It has also made me question whether Hermès is right for me. It’s beautifully made, classic, elegant and wonderfully understated. This isn’t to say I don’t love the bag – I really do. The resale value of this bag isn’t anywhere near what I’d like it to be and 2. Two majors factors weigh in (negatively) on me saying this: 1. So, was it a risk that paid off? Honestly, I’m not entirely sure. Louis Vuitton holds value as well of course but that’s more true of the classic monogram bags than anything else and the Soft Lockit, being such a new bag and in somewhat uncharted territory for Louis Vuitton, felt like a risk. That’s not to say other brands don’t hold their value – I know with Hermès bags, you can actually make money pretty instantly but Chanel is always such a safe bet, not to mention the fact that I love the aesthetic. I put an awful lot of my money into my bag collection and it’s comforting to know that I can recoup some of it should I need or want to. Why? I like things that hold their value – not necessarily because I sell my bags all the time (I don’t, at all) but because I like the idea that I could sell my bags at any time. I don’t tend to spend serious money on bags unless they are Chanel.
