VINTAGE LOUIS VUITTON, PARIS 1920s.
Covered in the iconic monogram canvas, with lozine leather trim, brass-bound edges, and reinforced corners, the domed lid secured by leather slats, the front fitted with a central brass lock stamped ‘Louis Vuitton’ flanked by two spring latches, with leather side handles; the interior lined in ochre and fitted with removable trays and dividers for the organized storage of footwear.
Produced by Louis Vuitton during the early decades of the 20th century, this trunk reflects the house’s continued innovation in specialized travel goods tailored to the needs of an increasingly mobile and fashion-conscious clientele. Shoe trunks of this type were designed to accommodate multiple pairs in a structured and protective format, ensuring both accessibility and preservation during long journeys.
Examples of this form, particularly those retaining their functional interior arrangements and original hardware, are increasingly sought after, embodying the refinement and practicality that define Vuitton’s legacy in luxury travel.
