Before heading into one of the largest cities in the state, President Donald Trump made a stop in Keene, Texas, a city with a population of just over 6,000 residents.

Joined by his daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner, Trump visited a newly opened Louis Vuitton factory with company chairman Bernard Arnault just south of Dallas. Arnault, one of the richest men in the world, has a net worth of more than $100 billion.

The facility, which opened this past June, was previously a ranch that kept exotic animals like zebras. On-site, there are currently 150 workers who make luxury purses and backpacks that can retail for thousands of dollars.

According to a press release, the number of workers is expected to grow to 1,000 within five years when a second facility is added to the property. The hourly wage is said to begin at $13 per hour according to the Wall Street Journal.

Prior to cutting a ribbon at the facility, President Trump touted job creation while saying Louis Vuitton was "a name I know very well. (It) cost me a lot of money over the years." He also praised Arnault as a "visionary and an artist."

Arnault has said the Johnson County facility will allow the French company “to meet the ever-growing demand for Louis Vuitton products from U.S. clients.”

Of 24 workshops, the Texas location is the third facility that Louis Vuitton has opened in the U.S., and the first outside of California. The bags will carry "Made in the USA" labels, but according to the fashion site The Cut, the leather won't come from Texas cattle.

Following his visit to the workshop, Trump is scheduled to attend a fundraiser in Fort Worth before speaking at a rally at American Airlines Arena at 7 p.m. in Dallas.
