The dent to the luxury sector caused by Donald Trump’s tariffs will today be exposed by handbags to champagne giant LVMH.

The French group, which has Moet, Louis Vuitton and Givenchy among its brands, will report on trading for the first three months of the year. 

Its shares are down 9 per cent since the President announced a frenzy of global tariffs.
