On arrival, Vuitton took up employment as a layetier, which was someone who packed the trunks of wealthy travellers (quite a skill when you consider the elaborate dresses worn by 19th century women). His efficiency brought him to the attention of Napoleon III who hired him as layetier to his wife, the Empress Eugenie.In 1854, Vuitton’s knowledge and expertise led him to open his own trunk making firm in Paris. His previous experience allowed him to know exactly what his clients wanted and needed, combining fashion with utility. His flat topped designs allowed for easy stacking, whilst his airtight trunks ensured that the contents were kept safe and dry. Vuitton’s signature branding allowed for a sense of glamour to follow the trunk, the notorious brown and mustard pattern still turning heads to this day.
