The workshop will be the largest in Italy entirely dedicated to making these products for Louis Vuitton, said the region, which signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with LVMH.
It will be located in the small town of Sieci and will be the third making Louis Vuitton goods in the Tuscany region.
