The Louis Vuitton label was founded by Vuitton in 1854 on Rue Neuve des Capucines in Paris, France. Louis Vuitton had observed that the HJ Cave Osilite trunk could be easily stacked and in 1858, Vuitton introduced his flat-bottom trunks with trianon canvas, making them lightweight and airtight. Before the introduction of Vuitton's trunks, rounded-top trunks were used, generally to promote water run-off, and thus could not be stacked. It was Vuitton's gray Trianon canvas flat trunk that allowed the ability to stack with ease for voyages. Many other luggage-makers imitated LV's style and design.
路易威登品牌是威登于1854年在法国巴黎的卡普西纳街上创立的。之前，路易·威登观察到HJ 卡弗·奥斯利特牌的行李箱很容易堆叠起来，于是在1858年，他用切雅诺帆布制作出平底行李箱，既轻便又密封。在这之前，人们用的行李箱顶部是圆形的，这样一般不会存水，但因此也不便于存放。而路易威登发明的灰色平底切雅诺帆布行李箱便于旅行存放。很多其他行李制造商都纷纷模仿LV的款式和设计。
