Who is the Louis Vuitton Customer?



When you think of who buys Louis Vuitton products, who do you picture? The image that the Louis Vuitton band has built throughout its history definitely brings a certain type of customer to mind.

Today, according to quantcast.com, the Louis Vuitton customer is a younger female, age 18-34, with a college degree. She is more affluent, typically having an annual income of $100,000 or more. She also has few-if any- children, and is more likely to be Asian than any other nationality.

It is apparent that the Vuitton brand has been targeting a younger market in recent years, such as in 2003 when the company partnered with Takashi Murakami to create the multicolor monogram canvas collection (pictured below):




Also, with Marc Jacobs in charge of design for the brand, many in younger generations, who relate to his aesthetic, have come to a new-found appreciation for the Louis Vuitton brand.


Market analysts may have defined the typical Louis Vuitton customer, but we can all enjoy the luxury this brand offers!
