LVMH is the French luxury group that owns Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Moët & Chandon.
LVMH is an abbreviation of its original major components: Louis Vuitton and Moët Hennessy. The group was formed in 1987 through the merger of fashion house Louis Vuitton with wines-and-spirits company Moët Hennessy.
Its portfolio spans fashion and leather goods, wines and spirits, perfumes and cosmetics, watches and jewelry, and selective retailing. Brands associated with the group include Christian Dior, Fendi, Givenchy, Tiffany & Co., Bulgari, and Sephora.
LVMH is often confused with Kering, another major French luxury group whose brands include Gucci and Saint Laurent. LVMH's market capitalization has frequently placed it among Europe's most valuable listed companies.
