Louis Vuitton: The Birth of Modern Luxury (ISBN 081095950X)

Tres Magnifique!:
This is a must have for all LV officianados. I have been collecting and using LV for over twenty-one years. This is an excellent literary and pictorial compilation of La Maison de Vuitton. Cudos! to the author, publisher, and of course La Maison de Vuitton for their continued commitment to perfection, elegance, and extrordinary products. Cudos, to the artisians for their pain-staking perfectionism in creating such works of art. This book is a tribute to over 150 years of leathercrafting, and now within the past 5 years pret-de-porte, couture, and precious metals. Vuitton continues to allow those of us loyal to the House to continue pushing the boundaries of style and fashion,and subtly encouraging admirer's of the House to indulge. Life is a journey, so why not travel with the best. Well done LV! Tres magnifique!

Beautiful.:
Fantastic history and beautiful illustrations. It has almost everything you've wanted to know about Louis Vuitton. Plus great pictures so you can see what all the fuss is about!

Full of History:
This book is filled with the history of the company from the person, Louis Vuitton's childhood, up through the generations that came after him. There are pictures of LV pieces scattered throughout the book. Not enough for those of us who love to look at LV bags and luggage. Overall a great addition to a collectors collection. The book retails in the boutique for $135.

WAY TOO EXPENSIVE...:
WAY TOO EXPENSIVE...ILLUSTRATIONS ARE JUST AS GOOD AS WHAT YOU FIND ONLINE...EBAY EVEN. HISTORY IS HIGHLY INFORMATIVE, HOWEVER. THANKS.

Exactimo Louis Vuitton:
This book has it all: a history lesson, an understanding and the very essence of Louis Vuitton style. The author clearly lives and understands LV. This book is a guide to understanding LV the family and the brand. This book is riveting and mind opening. LV is not just an expense bag or luggage. It is an adventure and is for the adventurous. I love this book.
