A strategic choice
“Tiffany acquisition will undoubtedly strengthen LVMH role in the jewellery and luxury accessory segments.

We highly regard Tiffany and look up to it a great deal. We are planning to develop such jewel by putting in strong diligence and commitment, as much as we did with regard to each fashion house of the group. We will be proud to have Tiffany sit alongside our iconic brands and look forward to ensuring that Tiffany continues to thrive for centuries to come”.
