First post on this amazing website from a LV employee !

Hi everybody

I'm a french guy working for Louis Vuitton near Paris in one of the factory for 2 years now and I'm just stunned by the passion developped here for the LV universe !

I'll be glad to share my knowledge of fabrication, fashion and tendency with you and give you preferential and fresh news from our daily work !

So don't hesitate for questions, i'm being kind of an expert in authentification or fabrication process (particulary leathers which are my part), an as a manager I can probably answer many of your interrogations as I get access to many data files (if not too confidential of course

).

I'm now working on the last models ( Galliera, Aquarelle, Reade, Hampstead Azur, Neverfull, ...) and I'm involve in the future realisations we developp at the moment !

I've no special personnal interest in sharing my LV competencies, except rewarding you of being such LV fans and improving my english by wrinting frequently (I've lived two years in USA, great memories

)

I'll next can speak of my own LV collection like you do at the end of your messages.

Au revoir, kisses from Paris

Wow, tks for such quick answers !

So I'm not actually making the bags, I'm supervising the production (managing 35 people) and dealing with global developpement projects (Im an engineer, but more intresse in fashion than in numbers

).

By the way I love the speedy aquarelle which is very tendance in france because of the very original "art motif". The openning of the bag (the red superior part we call "glissiere" ) is quite unique too.

Well i'm not here for publicity and i hate some other models of course but the aquarelle is a very special one. I don' t know if others models will be made, depends on the success usually, I will check !

Do you heard of the galliera Azur ? We're developping it at the moment in my factory,I'll bring you picture to proove my authenticity
