Louis Vuitton is a luxury retailer of the perfectionist school: canvas trunks are expertly monogrammed, coin purses come in polished and pebbled calf leather, and the ready-to-wear lines reveal creative director Marc Jacobs’s trend-setting flair. Louis Vuitton briefcases will meet the needs of even the most exacting business traveller. Better still are the discreetly embossed totes, which are roomy enough to store holiday essentials – and one of the label’s jumbo cashmere stoles.
