Roubini Sees AI Boom Offsetting Risks From Trump to Geopolitics

最近連有「末日博士」之稱的羅比尼(Nouriel Roubini),都看多市場。

路易·威登於1821年出生於法國東部的一個小村莊。 13歲那年,他離家出走,徒步跋涉400多公里來到巴黎。這段旅程耗時近兩年。一路上,他靠著打零工、四處棲身、努力適應環境維生。抵達巴黎時,他幾乎一無所有,但他意志堅定。


在巴黎,威登拜師學藝,成為箱包製作和包裝工。這在19世紀是一份重要的工作。富人出遊時往往攜帶大量物品,所有東西都必須手工精心打包。威登學會如何製作堅固的木製旅行箱,以及如何打包衣物,使其在長途旅行中不易起皺或損壞。


他的技藝使他脫穎而出。 1854年,他在巴黎開設了自己的工作室。當時,大多數旅行箱的頂部都是圓形的,難以堆疊。路易威登推出了一款更輕、更堅固、更容易攜帶的平頂旅行箱。這款簡單的設計徹底改變了旅行方式。


隨著旅行箱的流行,仿製品也迅速湧現。為了應對這個問題,威登設計了一個特殊的圖案和材料,使他的旅行箱更容易辨認,更難仿冒。這就是著名的路易威登設計的由來——並非出於裝飾目的,而是為了防止假冒。


路易·威登於1892年去世,但他的事業並未就此止步。他的兒子喬治·威登拓展了家族生意,並將其發展成為一個國際品牌。隨著時間的推移,該公司從旅行箱擴展到手袋、時裝和配件領域。


路易威登的故事之所以引人入勝,是因為它並非始於奢侈品,而是始於辛勤工作、精湛工藝以及對實際問題的務實解決方案。



Louis Vuitton was born in 1821 in a small village in eastern France. When he was just 13 years old, he ran away from home and walked more than 400 kilometers to Paris. The journey took him nearly two years. Along the way, he survived by taking small jobs, sleeping wherever he could, and learning how to adapt. By the time he arrived in Paris, he had almost nothing — but he had determination.
In Paris, Vuitton became an apprentice to a box-maker and packer. This was an important job in the 19th century. Wealthy people traveled with many belongings, and everything had to be packed carefully by hand. Vuitton learned how to build strong wooden trunks and how to pack clothes so they would not wrinkle or get damaged during long trips.
His skills made him stand out. In 1854, he opened his own workshop in Paris. At the time, most trunks had rounded tops, which made them hard to stack. Vuitton introduced a flat-top trunk that was lighter, stronger, and easier to transport. This simple idea changed travel forever.
As his trunks became popular, copies appeared quickly. To fight this, Vuitton created special patterns and materials to make his trunks easier to recognize and harder to fake. This is how the famous Louis Vuitton designs began — not as decoration, but as protection against counterfeits.
Louis Vuitton died in 1892, but his work did not stop there. His son, Georges Vuitton, expanded the business and turned it into an international brand. Over time, the company moved from travel trunks to handbags, fashion, and accessories.
What makes Vuitton’s story interesting is that it did not start with luxury. It started with hard work, craftsmanship, and practical solutions to real problems.
