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.

THE ART OF LUXURY BOOKMAKING
Since its beginnings in 1994, Assouline has been dedicated to creating books that are as informational as they are beautiful works of art. The respect for the product and the process of creation is evident in every facet – the traditional technique of hand-binding covers, the imagery that transports the reader to another place and time, the luxurious thickness of each page.
A BOOKSTAND
Coupling an effortless assembly with the ability to showcase every collection from Icons to Ultimates, the Assouline A Bookstand is as elegant as the titles it holds. Designed by Alex Assouline, the luxe stand, with an engraved Assouline A logo centered on both panels, comes in black, red, or clear acrylic.
