More of Louis Vuitton\u2019s luxury handbags could be crafted in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.<\/p>\n

The CEO of LVMH, Bernard Arnault, plans to open a second factory in Texas, likely north of Dallas, by early 2027, according to a story in The Wall Street Journal in an interview<\/a>, as he expressed concerns about tariffs and global trade. <\/p>\n

Already, the company has a manufacturing site for making its sought-after handbags in Alvarado<\/a>, which is 20 miles south of Arlington. The production site covered approximately 100,000 square feet when it opened around 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

LVMH did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The news comes after CFO Cecile Cabanis said on an analyst call earlier this year<\/a> that \u201cwe\u2019ll see at what pace and how much we want that to evolve\u201d after a question about production in the U.S. LVMH is a massive company in the industry with sites around the world and fashion names such as Christian Dior, Givenchy and Fendi. <\/p>\n

CEO Arnault has been pressing European leaders to agree to a deal along the lines of the one President Donald Trump reached with Japan, the Journal story said. He has spoken to Trump, seeking to de-escalate tensions with Brussels, as he looks to avoid a trade war.<\/p>\n

During his first term, Trump joined Arnault at the opening of Louis Vuitton\u2019s first Texas factory<\/a>. The move was credited at the time as helping leather goods and champagne avoid tariffs, the story said.<\/p>\n

If Trump wants to come to the inauguration of the new facility, Arnault said, \u201che will be welcome,\u201d he told the Journal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More of Louis Vuitton\u2019s luxury handbags could be crafted in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
