After his long experience in carrying bags, Vuitton knew the disadvantages of traditional bags and he began to make more beautiful and more easier to carry bags, he became famous and worked as a malletier for royal wives. And because of this reputation, Louis Vuitton opened his own shop in 1854, which was called "Louis Vuitton House," and this success has extended to this day and passed on to the generations after his death.
In partnership with the Dubai Mall, the Louis Vuitton presents a ''Time Capsule'' where you can take a journey in the history of the house through this exhibition and discover its historic innovations in technology and design. The exhibition talks about traveling from the beginnings of the house in 1854 to our present day, where the story is told through using rare and famous objects selected from the archives of Louis Vuitton.
