About Louis Vuitton
Since 1854, Louis Vuitton has brought unique designs to the world, combining innovation with style, always
aiming for the finest quality. Today, the House remains faithful to the spirit of its founder, Louis Vuitton, who
invented a genuine “Art of Travel” through luggage, bags and accessories which were as creative as they were
elegant and practical. Since then, audacity has shaped the story of Louis Vuitton. Faithful to its heritage, Louis
Vuitton has opened its doors to architects, artists and designers across the years, all the while developing
disciplines such as ready-to-wear, shoes, accessories, watches, jewelry, and fragrance. These carefully created
products are testament to Louis Vuitton’s commitment to fine craftsmanship.

Fundamentally, it’s not about luggage, it’s about innovation.

Nicholas FoulkesOur commitment to sustainability
Assouline supports One Tree Planted in its commitment to a more sustainable world through reforestation. Since 2019, this partnership has contributed to global efforts to restore forests, with the long-term vision of creating a sustainable cycle by sourcing paper from the trees planted. Our dedication to craftsmanship extends beyond the books themselves—today, our titles are printed on paper selected with the environment in mind, supporting the shift toward more responsible materials. With the belief that beauty stands not just in how it looks, but in how it’s made.
Standard Gift Wrapping
Assouline signature gift wrapping is available. When this option is selected, books are wrapped in a special white matte gift wrapping paper – sourced specifically by the Assouline family for an authentic approach and sealed with the brand’s signature red wax seal for the final touch of luxury.
Savoir-Faire
This French concept embodies the art of knowing exactly what to do and when to do it. At Assouline, savoir-faire defines every creation: from the artistry of our covers to the meticulous detailing of our Ultimate Collection and the precision of every page. Each title is a journey of craftsmanship, from concept to creation, guided by our creative team and brought to life with the highest standards of design, photography, and production. Every book reflects the dedication, care, and expertise that turn an idea into a lasting work of art.
