Luxury Fashion Houses
Luxury fashion houses have been selling the same thing for 200 years: identity. Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Gucci — each name carries associations so strong people pay thousands to wear the logo, not the garment.
This dataset tracks founding year, founding country, current parent company (most are owned by LVMH or Kering now), and the signature product that built the brand. Sort by heritage, by estimated brand value, or by how far the current aesthetic drifts from the founder's original vision. Community-ranked.
