Louis Vuitton has reopened several of its workshops to create masks and hospital gowns for healthcare workers.

Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, shortages of PPE (personal protective equipment) for healthcare workers has been a top concern across the globe.
Earlier this month, it was reported that some NHS staff were being forced to reuse and share masks when treating patients, while a top American official recently warned that hospitals in Washington are running “dangerously low” on PPE.
Several fashion companies have been stepping up to provide support during the health crisis, with designer Christian Siriano manufacturing masks for medical workers and luxury conglomerate LVMH repurposing its perfume factories to create hand sanitiser.
Louis Vuitton has now announced it is creating protective gear for workers on the frontline, calling upon hundreds of volunteers to make the equipment.
