Acerca de esta escucha

Louis Vuitton was just thirteen years old, when he left the family mill to escape his stepmother. In Paris, he found work with Maréchal, the most prestigious box-maker and packer in Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

Caroline Bongrand's vivid account relates the rise of this daring young man, a virtuoso, visionary craftsman in a capital city transformed by Haussmann. When Eugénie de Montijo became Empress of France, she continued to enlist the services of her favorite packer, with whom she developed a sincere, lasting friendship.

After setting up his own business in 1854, benefiting from the splendor of France's Second Empire, Louis Vuitton continually innovated to design trunks specially for the most extravagant clothes and the most exotic journeys, turning his own life into an epic tale.

Such a fabulous book - beautifully written and narrated - it’s a little jewel with so many facets and such depth. It has the feeling of a fairy tale, a Dickens story and an intimate look into a creative man’s life and how he was affected by the period of history he lived in. I just loved it!

Fabulous!!!

Well written story of LV truly comes to life. The author has written 15 books and I would love to listen to more of her titles in audio form. Turns out that her great grand mother is a historical character in the book confronting a Prussian soldier.

Excited to discover this author.

As a life-long fan of Louis Vuitton's humble beginnings, I purchased this book to learn more of the story, but had low expectations as I anticipated a tedious history lesson. However, this book gripped me from the very beginning and never let go. The story is extremely well written and it was an absolute joy to listen to Jennifer Connelly tell the story. I never wanted it to end. Calling this book a "fashion book" does it a huge disservice. This is a book about hard work, leadership, resilience, loyalty, and success. I cannot wait to listen again and again. Thank you, Caroline!
