What LVMH MÉTIERS D'ART does

LVMH Métiers d'Art is a wholly-owned B2B division of LVMH Group, headquartered at 69 Rue Réaumur in Paris. Founded in 2015, the division centralizes specialist luxury manufacturing capabilities for LVMH's portfolio of over 75 Maisons. It operates 17 specialized métiers spanning four strategic pillars: sustainable livestock farming and breeding, premium leather and exotic skin tanning, metal component production, and textile manufacturing. With approximately 4,000 collaborators across 5 continents, the division supplies ethically sourced, fully traceable raw materials and components exclusively to LVMH's iconic brands including Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Fendi, Celine, Loewe, Loro Piana, Givenchy, Kenzo, Berluti, Patou, Emilio Pucci, Moynat, Barton Perreira, Marc Jacobs, and Rimowa.

The division's underlying capabilities center on artisanal craftsmanship combined with modern production techniques, including traditional tanning methods for conventional and exotic leathers, precision metalwork for hardware components, and textile manufacturing using both heritage and contemporary processes. End-to-end traceability infrastructure ensures ethical sourcing and sustainability standards across the supply chain. Innovation, technology, and best practices are shared across the network of métiers to maintain consistent quality.

The business model is structured as internal B2B supply within the LVMH ecosystem, with revenue generated through negotiated long-term material supply arrangements with LVMH Maisons rather than external distribution. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution flows directly from specialized manufacturing facilities to Maison production operations, with no external sales channels. The division is led by Yves Cauchon as Directeur Général and operates under French corporate law as part of LVMH's Mode & Maroquinerie sector.
