About

World's largest luxury goods conglomerate by revenue and brand portfolio, with unmatched scale and brand prestige across multiple luxury categories

LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE is the global leader in luxury goods, headquartered in Paris, France. Founded through the 1987 merger of Louis Vuitton and Moët Hennessy, the group now encompasses more than 75 distinguished Maisons across six business divisions: Fashion & Leather Goods (Louis Vuitton, Dior, Givenchy, Fendi), Wines & Spirits (Moët & Chandon, Hennessy, Dom Pérignon), Perfumes & Cosmetics (Parfums Christian Dior, Guerlain, Benefit), Watches & Jewelry (TAG Heuer, Bulgari, Tiffany & Co.), Selective Retailing (Sephora, DFS, Le Bon Marché), and Other Activities. With revenues exceeding €86 billion and operations in over 80 countries, LVMH is one of the most valuable companies in Europe by market capitalization. LVMH is a major force in global advertising and marketing, consistently ranking among the world's top luxury advertisers. The group invests heavily in brand-building campaigns across print, digital, out-of-home, and social media channels, working with elite creative agencies and celebrity ambassadors. Its brands are among the most recognizable in the world, and LVMH's marketing philosophy centers on preserving brand desirability through controlled, high-quality storytelling and selective media placement. The group also owns Les Echos and Le Parisien, two significant French media properties, making it both a major advertiser and a media owner. Through Sephora, LVMH operates one of the most sophisticated retail media and loyalty marketing ecosystems in the beauty sector, leveraging first-party data from tens of millions of Beauty Insider members. The group's digital transformation efforts include investments in e-commerce, data analytics, and personalized marketing technology across its portfolio of brands, positioning LVMH at the intersection of luxury heritage and modern marketing innovation.
