Louis Vuitton Manufactures

Assouline's coffee-table book "Louis Vuitton Manufactures," with photographs taken exclusively for this book, showcases the extraordinary sites and buildings of Louis Vuitton's ateliers, and the equally extraordinary artisans who express their talent in Louis Vuitton's creations (suitcases, bags, fragrances, watches, shoes, jewelry and ready-to-wear), while bringing the founder's techniques and savoir-faire into the twenty-first century. 

Louis Vuitton promotes the idea that a studio can be a place of fulfillment and individuality. A place where craftsmanship can be learned, respected and passed on -- and innovation nurtured -- by artisans who routinely challenge the image of a traditional atelier. Seeking regional expertise and craft excellence, Louis Vuitton's ateliers spread the length and breadth of France and beyond, from Geneva (Switzerland), to Fiesso d'Artico (Italy) and even Texas (USA). Locations of historical interest or exceptional natural beauty often have a Louis Vuitton atelier nearby: in Normandy, the sea-sky of Mont-Saint-Michel can be seen from the atelier in Ducey, and in Beaulieu-sur-Layon, the slightly flooded facility promises low environmental impact.

This book is dedicated to these studios and the inspiring people who work there.
