Company Profile
As a luxury group parent, LVMH carries no Amazon/eBay shop box here - its Houses' own sites are the destinations, and the group site is linked above. The portfolio has grown past the 70 Houses in the earlier record to more than 75, and now also counts Tiffany & Co. among its jewelry houses, acquired after that record was written. The earlier record - the sector-by-sector house lists of its period, the 2017 holding-company note, the 2016 Donna Karan sale to G-III and its three photographs - is kept in full on the history page.
The scale figures are the record's own. LVMH is home to 70 distinguished Houses rooted in six different sectors, and it controls around 60 subsidiaries that each manage a small number of prestigious brands; the subsidiaries are often managed independently. True to tradition, each brand builds on a specialty legacy while keeping an unwavering focus on the exquisite caliber of its products, as the Group describes it. The oldest of the LVMH brands is the wine producer Chateau d'Yquem, which dates its origins back to 1593 - a reminder that the group's roots run centuries deeper than its 1987 formation.
