On Thursday, two of the most powerful brands in politics and high fashion collided in Johnson County, Texas, a rural area about a half-hour’s drive south of Fort Worth.
“This is some place,” said Trump, standing on a makeshift stage in front of a backdrop studded with spools of thread, like concept art. Earlier, he had been given a brief show-and-tell on the workshop, and had gotten to hoist one of the LV monogram bags and to watch an artisan at work. He said Arnault was an “artist” and a “visionary” who was making a great investment in Texas, and U.S. jobs.
He also said: “I am not here to judge his types of policies. I have no political role. I am a businessperson. I try to tell him what I think for the success of the economy of the country, and the success of what we are doing.” Indeed, any connection with Trump and his family has been notoriously complicated for brands, which have been the target of very public consumer ire over their ties with the president and his policies.
Arnault also attended the Trumps’ first state dinner, for President Emmanuel Macron of France — to which Macron’s wife, Brigitte, wore Louis Vuitton. Melania Trump often chooses Dior, another LVMH brand, for her public appearances. Arnault is no stranger to controversy, having made his name as “the wolf in the cashmere coat” when he scandalized the French business community with his ruthless acquisitions of hallowed family brands in the 1980s and ’90s.
There are already two Louis Vuitton workshops in California in San Dimas and Irwin , and the company has had what Burke called a “special relationship” with the United States since Georges Vuitton, son of Louis, attended the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. Company executives had been looking for another U.S. base of operations to satisfy local demand in what is their largest market.
According to Burke, the company derives no discernible tax benefits from its U.S. handbag production, thanks to the current low-duty environment, though in the case of a trade war between the United States and Europe, that obviously would change.
That’s a knockoff he bought on Canal Street. It’s all smoke and mirrors with realDonaldTrump
