#LVMHJOINSFORCES

MANUFACTUR ING MASKS AND GOW NS

Faced with shortages of medical supplies in France and throughout the world, the LVMH Group s employees rapidly stepped for- ward to help fight the spread of Covid-19. On a voluntary basis, the Group s Maisons channeled this community spirit into tangible results. Very quickly, all of Louis Vuitton s workshops in France set to work

producing non-surgical masks approved by the authorities. More than 300 leather goods artisans participated at the Maison s 16 workshops in France. From Marsaz (in the Drôme department of southeastern France) to Ducey (in northwestern La Manche), a total of 500,000 masks were produced. In parallel, Louis Vuitton s Paris workshop produced 11,000 medical gowns for AP-HP hospital staff and the French health authorities. They were quickly joined by Givenchy s French workshops. Dior reopened its Redon workshop in Brittany, which usually specializes in manu- facturing Baby Dior clothing. The Maison s tailors and seamstresses produced non-surgical cloth masks for the general public, a vital aid in slowing the spread of the virus. Kenzo and Celine supplied fabric and mobilized their resources to provide gowns to medical staff at Paris hospitals. In Spain, Loewe got involved by producing non-surgical masks at its Getafe workshop near Madrid. The Maison also donated 100,000 masks to the Spanish Red Cross.

WITH THE ENTIRE WORLD IN THE GRIP OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC, THE LVMH GROUP TOOK ACTION IN AN UNPRECEDENTED EFFORT TO SUPPORT

THE COMMUNITY AND FIGHT THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS.

Around the world - and particularly in France, where the Group and many of its Maisons originated - LVMH and its employees were wholeheartedly committed to the cause. Thanks to our devoted teams, as soon as the first lockdown was announced, initiatives were immediately set in motion to support the community. These initiatives, taken under the exceptional circumstances of the public health crisis, illustrate only some of our collective efforts. They reflect an exemplary agility that enabled us to produce hand sanitizer, masks and gowns for health care facilities, local government offices, nonprofits and key service providers, as well as to offer meals to medical staff, and more.
