2. LV learnt to make β€˜personal boxes’ for Napolean’s wife for 17 years. Thanks to Napolean, LV won other powerful clients, who supported him until the end of his career.

5. In 1886, Vuitton invented & patented a new lock. They were so confident in its reliability, they even challenged the illusionist, Harry Houdini, to escape from a closed LV trunk. Houdini didn’t accept the offer & his refusal helped to prove the perfection of the invention.
