Louis Vuitton wants to increase domestic leathergoods production
05/02/2018
It would be Louis Vuitton’s fifteenth leathergoods workshop in the country. The most recent was opened in Saint-Pourçain in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region at the end of 2017.
Mr Arnault said the workshop in La Merlatière will create 200 new jobs, adding to the 650 artisans Louis Vuitton already employs in the region.
He explained that the “pro-business” policies of the French government have encouraged Louis Vuitton to accelerate the expansion of its domestic manufacturing operations.
