Back in March the French fashion house announced that they would be donating 40 million surgical masks throughout several cities throughout the world who were severely impacted by COVID-19.

In light of the health crisis the Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy Group repurposed many of their factories to start producing surgical masks.

“By virtue of its global distribution network, LVMH has managed to secure an order with a Chinese industrial supplier for a delivery of 10 million masks in France in the coming days (seven million surgical masks and three million FFP2 masks).

The order will be repeated for at least four weeks in similar quantities (i.e. approximately 40 million masks)” the statement read.
