Thieves broke into Benoit-Louis Vuitton's house early in the morning on the 14th and stole various watches, jewelry, and bags.

Local media said that although the exact amount of damage from the stolen items has not been estimated, it will be worth at least several million euros (about billions of won in Korean currency), and some of the stolen items are prototypes that have not yet been released.

Also, judging from Benoit-Louis Vuitton's recent social media posts, he was in New York, USA at the time of the incident, and his Paris home was empty.

"The investigation is ongoing, and the anti-criminal organization task force is handling the case," the police said.

Benoit-Louis Vuitton, who is currently in charge of Louis Vuitton's brand art, culture and heritage management, also served as general manager of the luxury watch and jewelery business.

Meanwhile, luxury brand Louis Vuitton's products have been a target for thieves and counterfeiters for a long time.
