With the release of this comprehensive volume, the maison celebrates and illuminates its past.&nbsp;

In an opulent, hardcover volume, aptly titled From Louis to Vuitton, the maison's legacy comes alive. Published by Assouline and written by Arthur Dreyfus&mdash;with a foreword from Pietro Beccari, Louis Vuitton's president and CEO&mdash;the book traces the complete history of Louis Vuitton, ranging all the way back to 1854 when it was founded.
Within the pages of&nbsp;From Louis to&nbsp;Vuitton,&nbsp;a stunning selection of images, themes, and written elements explores the early days of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/louis-vuitton-spring-summer-2026-runway-images-paris-fashion-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Louis Vuitton</a>&mdash;initial workshops, design drafts, and iconic pieces&mdash;to its expansion across the 20th century.&nbsp;

Given how central craftsmanship, innovation, and creativity have been to Louis Vuitton since the beginning, it's no surprise that a significant portion of the book is dedicated to some of the most iconic pieces in the maison's archive, with a particular emphasis on classic monogrammed trunks and luggage, with a nod to their place at the forefront of the Louis Vuitton universe across the decades.
Women's and men's ready-to-wear, jewelry, accessories, timepieces, and fragrances are all included within the volume, highlighting the maison's role as a leader in arts and culture throughout its history.&nbsp;From Louis to Vuitton&nbsp;also illustrates the impact that the label's various artistic directors have had on the maison itself and the broader fashion world.&nbsp;

With a striking yellow hardcover and a sumptuous damier-style case&mdash;complete with the iconic saddle stitch&mdash;the maison's creativity and innovative spirit is conveyed all the way from inside the volume to the exterior.&nbsp;
From Louis to Vuitton&nbsp;will be available beginning November 2025 in Assouline and Louis Vuitton's online stores and brick-and-mortar locations around the world. An exclusive, limited-edition trunk, celebrating the book's launch, will also be available in small quantities around the world.&nbsp;
