Why these two? Well, besides being iconic, like Louis Vuitton, according to a press release “together, they echo the values that resonate through every Louis Vuitton design and every Core Values campaign: a journey beyond the physical, a commitment to excellence, and a transmission of dreams.” That adds up.
