Louis Vuitton’s home on the range: Why the French luxury brand makes handbags in Texas

ALVARADO, Texas—Louis Vuitton, the global luxury brand, was born on the cobblestones of Paris. Its future is taking shape in places like the grasslands of northeast Texas.

Where cattle graze, Louis Vuitton has built a 100,000-square-foot factory to make its monogrammed canvas and leather handbags for the American market.

Vendôme, France. also

And by the way if I was a new customer and that thing says Made in who knows where I demand 50% discount as a minimum! Just saying. 😒

I don’t know. Don’t wanna know. Glad mine says Made in France 🙄

It’s ugly, brown, vinyl

Lemme guess. Taxes.

Import/export taxes and European manual labor is expensive.

If that's the case my purse should be cheaper.

Louis Vuitton in Texas 🤔 should we expect a new line of rifle bags and pistol holders? 😉😂

Well, that was a stupid thing to do. LV just ruined it's brand.

Mexican slave labor. They say they don't want 'illegals' and they'll stop em and build walls but at the same time entice people to come and get paid. Lies. 500,000 thousand meet the demand daily just in Texas alone. Slaves wanted not citizens protected by laws.

Great article!

Because they want to make the products cheap but still be priced expensive.

Bravo Bernard Arnault. Free advertising by Trump for the French company to American consumers. Smart choice of Texas, a welcoming State for business, the opposite of New York State.

Better to be made in the good ole USA than China.

USA USA USA 🇺🇸

Who would buy this shit?

Cheap non union labour.

Why? One word! Trump!

What a dumb question? Americans buy more LV than any other group.

Thats where tha cows at

Are these Made in USA bags cheaper?

On a Iowa farm, Jeff stops growing barley, grows corn, builds corn silos and sells corn. Why?

Who cares where they make LV bags? There are so many women carrying knockoffs the real ones have no value.

😭 I’m out. iMAGAnna keep my money $LVMH.

I read the article and saw the cattle... To hell with this brand! !!!

To get around taxes just like Donald did at his place by having 8 goats?

TRUMP 2020

No LV for me after his appearance with Trump. 😡

Because there are a lot of their customers in Texas.

Tired of putting up with PETA

Oh good

what the fuck is this headline lol

Interesting

LouisVuitton this is the opposite of journalism .... everyone on Earth can live a full, long and happy life without a handbag that costs thousands of dollars. These bags are a waste of money.

Except if I were going to buy a French luxury bag (and I'm not), I would want it to be from...France.

So they are going to pay 13.00 an hour to 500 people making 1200.00 purses and bring Trump in for a dog and pony show. Oh Trumpster’s are going to just be so happy. Trump will brag about jobs being created thanks to him.

Does anyone really buy these ugly bags anymore?

When you've got a 100% margin, a little extra labor cost won't kill you. For small manufacturing businesses competing on 15-20%, it simply isn't feasible. EndTrumpsTradeWar

Why Pete Buttigieg Came Out SwingingButtigieg is gambling that undecided voters want to see conflict in the debates, even after the last three candidates to try and make such striking attacks on stage saw no long-term polling gain What a shitty take. How is pointing out differences in policies, or having an intellectual disagreement “striking attacks”? PeteButtigieg has been saying the same things on the campaign trail. He was respectful, and didn’t take cheap shots. Shame on you for this CRAP! gdebenedetti My guess is people want to know if he can be tough on Trump? gdebenedetti Slowly but SURELY, he is coming! Enough with the REALLY OLD ones, it's time for the youngest of them all to take the lead FOR ONCE. 👏👏👏✊✊✊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Why Didn’t Anyone Attack Joe Biden At Tuesday’s Debate?There seems to be a tacit agreement among Democrats not to admit openly that the Hunter business is shady, paired with a willingness to take a “wait and see” approach to how it affects Biden’s campaign moving forward Because joe is lame and everybody knows he’s done. He’s irrelevant. They are all conspiring to overthrow the United States is why. Duh. It's a no-brainer at this point folks! Biden and Bernie are both slipping in the polls so it's time for all the 8 to 2 percent group to gang up on Elizabeth Warren. And btw, no one also wants to be seen as attacking a guy near 80 who just had a heart attack.
