LVMH owns the luxury fashion brands Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Fendi.
LVMH is the abbreviation for Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, a French luxury-goods group formed in 1987 through the merger of fashion house Louis Vuitton and champagne and spirits group Moët Hennessy. Its portfolio now spans fashion, leather goods, wines and spirits, perfumes and cosmetics, watches and jewelry, and selective retailing.
Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Fendi operate as distinct maisons, or houses, within the group. LVMH’s structure lets these brands preserve individual identities while benefiting from shared financial strength, international distribution, and management expertise.
The group became one of Europe’s most valuable companies as global demand for luxury goods expanded. It is sometimes confused with Kering, another major French luxury group whose brands include Gucci and Saint Laurent. LVMH’s stock-market value reflects many brands rather than one single product line.
