.POTUS and Bernard Arnault are opening a new LouisVuitton factory in Texas.
TRUMP AND ARNAULT: Bernard Arnault, chairman and chief executive officer of Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, has lined up a power group for Thursday’s opening of the Louis Vuitton Rochambeau Ranch in Johnson County, Tex. — none other than President Trump, as well as first daughter Ivanka Trump and Texas state officials. Arnault will also be joined at the event by other LVMH senior executives, including Louis Vuitton’s chairman and ceo Michael Burke.
Billed as the luxury house’s newest leather goods “workshop,” the facility is meant to reflect LVMH’s commitment to bring new jobs to the U.S., according to press material provided by the company Sunday. The plan is to create 1,000 jobs in the next five years at the facility near Keene, Tex. By doing so, Louis Vuitton is making good on its support of the Pledge to America’s Workers, the educational training program that was launched last year.
In January 2017, Armault discussed the prospect of moving more factory jobs — among other subjects — to the U.S. with then-President-elect Trump at Trump Tower in New York. His son Alexandre also joined him on that trip.This week’s opening also signals Louis Vuitton’s commitment to extensive training in leather goods craftsmanship for all employees as an effort to meet the increased demand in the U.S. market for Louis Vuitton products.
Bolstering domestic production has been one of Trump’s rallying cries. While domestic fashion brands have spoken about the benefits of reshoring — improved quality control and working conditions — most continue to produce the bulk of their goods overseas where production costs are substantially cheaper. In the U.S., there are 1.8 million fashion-related jobs including 232,000 in manufacturing textiles for apparel and footwear, according to the Joint Economic Committee Democratic Bureau of Labor.

St. Louis Public Safety Director Essentially Blames Child Criminals for Their Own DeathsCall me simple, but I always assumed it was the job of a public safety director to figure out ways to prevent people from dying rather than to explain away deaths by saying some people are asking for it, though it is entirely possible I misunderstand the role. In St. Louis, Missouri, where 13 children have been fatally shot since April, the job of public safety director seems to include going on the radio and blaming kids for the gun violence that killed them.
