A collection that first debuted in 2004, the Empreinte collection is known for its delicate pieces that give a subtle nod to the Maison’s design codes, like the iconic Monogram Flower and LV initials. Today, Francesca Amfitheatrof, the Artistic Director of Jewelry and Watches for Louis Vuitton, catapults the collection into contemporary, cool new creations.

Amfitheatrof’s new designs also embody a sense of boldness with its stacking rings adorned with the LV initials that were first designed by Georges Vuitton in 1896 – further serving as a testament to the dynamic design DNA of Louis Vuitton that pulls from the past to create modern designs.

The Empreinte collection is meant to be playful, allowing the wearer to explore and discover different ways to wear the pieces; whether that be the long necklace that seamlessly transforms into a multi-strand bracelet or stacked necklace or the hoop earrings and diamond-studded rose gold ear cuff that can be worn individually or mixed-and-matched.
