LOUIS VUITTON PRET A PORTER FASHION CATALOGS
These Catalogs were produced before Louis Vuitton hired Marc Jacobs and began producing ready to wear clothing.
These Le Catalogue (Maroquinerie) books represent a complete collection of every single item produced by Vuitton at that time, with very detailed information like measurements, colors, materials and in some cases they contain the pricelist at the end as a seperate printout. These “bibles” are an essential tool for any Vuitton collector.
(1992-2003)
MARC JACOBS (1999-2003)
In 1996 Louis Vuitton hired fashion designer Marc Jacobs to take over the luxury leather goods company and infuze the brand with ready to wear. His first collection was for Spring 1998. For now, I have omitted the special specific collection catalogs like shoe collections (souliers), time watches (horlogerie), and jewelry (joaillerie).
Here is a listing of the catalog covers that acompany each collection and a brief description of the contents of each new catalogue, if possible I am including here the very coveted pricelists for the catalogs that I have that brought one:
