Life and career
Vuitton was born to a family of artisans, carpenters, and farmers. His mother, a hat-maker, died at the age of ten, and his father followed shortly. Vuitton left his house in Anchay, Franche-Comté, in the spring of 1835 at the age of 13. Vuitton rode about 292 miles (470 kilometers) to Paris, working odd jobs along the way. He apprenticed under Monsieur Marechal, a professional trunk maker and packer, who arrived in 1837, during the Industrial Revolution. Vuitton established itself as one of the city's top craftsmen within a few years.
After the reestablishment of the French Empire under Napoleon III, Vuitton was hired as a personal trunk designer and packer for the Empress of The French. "Packing the most beautiful clothes in an exquisite way," she charged him. Vuitton was provided with a portal to other influential and royal clients who provided him with paid for the remainder of his career.
Vuitton married Clemence-Emilie Parriaux in 1854, at the age of 33. He left Marechal's shop and opened his own trunk making and packing workshop in Paris shortly after. A sign outside his shop read: "Securely packs the most fragile products are the most fragile objects." "Specialising in packing trends." H.J. inspired 1858 in 1858. Vuitton's Cave & Sons introduced his revolutionary rectangular canvas trunks at a time when the market only had rounded-top leather trunks. Vuitton's durable, lightweight styles prompted his expansion into a larger workshop in Asnières-sur-Seine. The original pattern of the shellac embedded canvas was called "Damier."
In addition, Vuitton manufactured the world's first pick-proof lock. All lock patterns were safely stored in Vuitton's workrooms and marked with the owner's name in case that a different key was needed.
Demand dropped sharply during the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, and Vuitton's workshop was in ruins, and Vuitton's workshop was in ruins. Many of his machines were robbed and his employees were displaced, and he had to be recalled. Vuitton rebuilt immediately, erecting a new shop at 1 Rue Scribe, next to a prestigious jockey club in the heart of Paris. Vuitton introduced a new line in 1872, with beige monogrammed designs as a hallmark of his brand long after he died in 1892 due to a severe and persistent brain tumor (glioblastoma).
