HISTORY Although the history of the LVMH group began in 1987 with the merger of Moët Hennessy and Louis Vuitton, the roots of the Group actually stretch back much further, to eighteenth-century Champagne, when a man named Claude Moët decided to build on the work of Dom Pérignon, a contemporary of Louis XIV; and to nineteenth-century Paris, famous for its imperial celebrations, where Louis Vuitton, a craftsman trunk-maker, invented modern luggage. Today, the LVMH group is the world’s leading luxury goods company, the result of successive alliances among companies that, from generation to generation, have successfully combined traditions of excellence and creative passion with a cosmopolitan flair and a spirit of conquest. These companies now form a powerful, global group in which the historic companies share their expertise with the newer brands, and continue to cultivate the art of growing while transcending time, without losing their soul or their image of distinction.
