Louis Vuitton’s distinctive trunks and bags have been
synonymous with luxury for 150 years. Since the arrival of
designer Marc Jacobs in 1997, the company has diversified its
product range, spurring it to even greater levels of success.
Louis Vuitton now operates an exclusive retail network of 341
stores across 52 countries, supplying chic shoppers with its
famous monogram bags, as well as a range of Ready-to-Wear
and accessories.
Part of the stores’ success is a combination of FedEx services
that keeps the right mix of products in stock at each location.
The hottest, fast-selling merchandise is shipped from factories
directly to Louis Vuitton stores worldwide by FedEx Express.
Rush orders are handled by FedEx International Priority. For
replenishing its classic stock, Louis Vuitton relies on FedEx
Express to transport multi-piece heavyweight shipments from
its international logistics and information processing center in
Cergy, France, to distribution centers in Honolulu and Memphis.
From Memphis, merchandise is shipped by FedEx Express and
FedEx Ground to Louis Vuitton stores across the United States.
The retailer often uses the Web-based FedEx InSight application
to receive automatic notification of critical shipments and to
view shipment status without inputting a tracking number.
“Louis Vuitton is aiming to increase the responsiveness of its
logistics operations,” said Vincent Barale, director of Logistics
and Transportation for Louis Vuitton. “The services provided
by FedEx enable us to reduce lead times while optimizing stock
levels within our retail network. FedEx is an integral part of our
remarkable, ongoing story of innovative luxury.”

“I need to be in Hong Kong...”
Strategic shipping helps Louis Vuitton get its most in-demand products
in stores around the world.
