Unlinked because we have no portrait for these houses yet. Read on 27 July 2026 from the LVMH Maisons overview.
A group that does not hide
LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE is based in Paris, listed on Euronext Paris and part of the CAC 40 index. It was formed in 1987 through the merger of Moët Hennessy and Louis Vuitton. Bernard Arnault has led it since 1989; in early 2026 Arnault family entities held just over half of the share capital.
Unlike some houses, the ownership here takes no digging. LVMH names its Maisons on its own website, sorted into six business segments. That matters, because you rarely learn it in a shop: Louis Vuitton, Dior, Fendi and Loewe read as independent houses with their own histories — and by origin they are. They simply share an owner.
Why this list is incomplete
The group spans around 75 Maisons across six segments: fashion and leather goods, watches and jewellery, wines and spirits, perfumes and cosmetics, selective retailing and other activities. This site is about clothing. Listed here, therefore, are only the houses LVMH itself files under “Fashion & Leather Goods”.
Anyone wanting the full group overview will find it at LVMH — we link it below. A list that pretends to completeness is worse than one that admits its limits.
The fashion and leather goods segment
Fashion and leather goods is the group’s largest and most profitable segment. The thirteen houses in it differ sharply: Loro Piana is a fabric maker with its own ready-to-wear, Rimowa builds suitcases, Berluti makes shoes. What they share is an owner, not a product.
That two houses belong to the same group says nothing about whether they are made in the same factory.
What we do not claim about these houses
None of the thirteen has a portrait here, which is why they appear in the table unlinked. An entry in our directory promises our own material check and linked sources. Those do not exist for these houses, and we do not list what we have not checked.
Questions readers ask
Who owns Louis Vuitton?
The French group LVMH, formed in 1987 through the merger of Moët Hennessy and Louis Vuitton. Bernard Arnault has led it since 1989 and his family is the majority shareholder.
Are Dior and Louis Vuitton connected?
Both belong to LVMH and are run as separate houses. Their origins and histories differ; the owner is the same.
How many brands does LVMH have?
Around 75 Maisons across six segments. This page lists only the thirteen houses in fashion and leather goods, because this site is about clothing.
Do the houses produce together?
That cannot be inferred from group membership. Two brands sharing an owner says nothing about where or by whom they are made.
