A global mega-luxury brand today, Louis Vuitton, had a humble beginning back in 1854. Originally the brand was a box maker with one shop on Rue Neuve des Capucines in Paris, France, but it all changed when the founder of the brand, Louis Vuitton, realized that round trunks, which were famous at that period, occupy a lot of space and cannot be stacked. In 1858, Louis Vuitton introduces flat trunks which were an instant hit amongst the elite in France.
