News Summary:

Louis Vuitton entered a 10-year partnership with Formula 1, becoming the title sponsor of the Monaco Grand Prix and supplying bespoke trophy trunks, a strategic move to engage a younger and more diverse fan base. This development coincides with analysts' estimates that Louis Vuitton alone represents approximately half of LVMH's operating profit, with the broader Fashion & Leather Goods division contributing over 70% of the group's EBIT. Separately, a Louis Vuitton clock van fetched over 650,000 euros in December 2024 at an Artcurial auction during the "Les Grandes Marques du Monde" sale. Earlier on February 20, 2026, the brand launched an exclusive hotel pop-up in Bangkok on February 11, which will run until March 15, 2026. This event celebrates the 130th anniversary of the Louis Vuitton Monogram, following previous successful pop-up hotels in cities such as Shanghai, New York, and Seoul.
