Time Capsule. Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton presented Time Capsule, a journey through the history of the House that revisited its landmark innovations in technology and design. Travelling from the House’s beginnings in 1854 to the present day, the story was told using rare and celebrated objects selected from the Louis Vuitton archive.

Time Capsule demonstrated the ways in which Louis Vuitton has anticipated the needs and desires of a changing world over 160 years. As advances in transport had accelerated our movement around the world, so Louis Vuitton had continued to address new challenges faced by travelers with imaginative and ingenious creations.

• Icons of the House, a selection of Louis Vuitton’s most memorable and emblematic creations.
