Louis Vuitton Malletier, commonly referred to as Louis Vuitton (/ˈluːiː vwiːˈtɒn/ LOO-ee-vwee-TON; French: [lwi vɥiˈtɔ̃]), or shortened to LV, is a French fashion house founded in 1854 by Louis Vuitton. The label's LV monogram appears on most of its products, ranging from luxury trunks and leather goods to ready-to-wear, shoes, watches, jewelry, accessories, sunglasses and books. Louis Vuitton is one of the world's leading international fashion houses; it sells its products through standalone boutiques, lease departments in high-end department stores, and through the e-commerce section of its website. For six consecutive years (2006–2012), Louis Vuitton was named the world's most valuable luxury brand. 2012 valuation was US$25.9 billion. Year 2013 valuation of the brand was US$28.4 billion with a sales of US$9.4 billion. The company operates in 50 countries with more than 460 stores worldwide
The Louis Vuitton label was founded by Vuitton in 1854 on Rue Neuve des Capucines in Paris, France. Louis Vuitton had observed that the HJ Cave Osilite trunk could be easily stacked and in 1858, Vuitton introduced his flat-bottom trunks with trianon canvas, making them lightweight and airtight. Before the introduction of Vuitton's trunks, rounded-top trunks were used, generally to promote water run off, and thus could not be stacked. It was Vuitton's gray Trianon canvas flat trunk that allowed the ability to stack with ease for voyages. Many other luggagemakers imitated LV's style and design.

As I near my destination in Switzerland, I can tell a visit to the mountain village, Gstaad, will be different than the dozens of other villages we pass in the train along the way. During the three-hour train ride on the Golden Pass, I stare wide-eyed as we pull into the village in the Southwestern part of the country that first started attracting tourists in the early 1900s, who came to ski after the rail line was built. This is one of Switzerland’s most moneyed resort towns, home to pricy and posh shops and two grandiose castle hotels that sit mighty above the town. But it’s also a spot where there are as many cows as people: about 7,000 of each, and the locals feel very unpretentious. And best of all, Gstaad feels timeless: in restaurants and shops it’s easy to find cheese and beef th...
