LVMH — The Global Luxury Powerhouse

Founded in 1987 and led by Bernard Arnault, LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton) is the largest luxury conglomerate in the world. Its vast portfolio spans wines and spirits, perfumes and cosmetics, fashion and leather goods, watches and jewellery, selective retailing, and other luxury ventures.

Within its watches and jewellery division, LVMH controls several renowned maisons including Tiffany & Co. (acquired 2021 in a landmark $15.8 billion deal), Bulgari (2011), Chaumet (since 1999), and Fred (1995).  Beyond these historic jewellers, a number of LVMH fashion houses — including Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Celine, Fendi, and Givenchy — have also ventured into fine jewellery, expanding the group’s influence across the wider luxury jewellery landscape.

With glitteringly global retail reach, powerful marketing, and celebrity-driven brand storytelling, LVMH has transformed heritage jewellery houses into worldwide luxury icons — proving that in today’s jewellery world, scale, spectacle, and sparkle remain the ultimate scintillating scene-stealers.
