Louis Vuitton buys Tiffany & co for $16bn

The world’s biggest luxury goods company is buying US-based jeweller Tiffany & Co for more than $16bn.

The deal gives LVMH’s billionaire owner Bernard Arnault a bigger slice of one of the fastest growing luxury sectors.

He said Tiffany had an “unparalleled heritage” and fitted with its other brands, Louis Vuitton and Bulgari.
