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 lock flanked by two latches, all in brass, retaining original hardware and fittings; the side stenciled ‘600 F.S.-1’, the interior lined and fitted for travel.
Produced by Louis Vuitton during the golden age of travel, this cabin trunk exemplifies the house’s enduring commitment to craftsmanship, durability, and innovation. Cabin trunks were deliberately constructed to a standardized height of approximately 14 inches, allowing them to slide neatly beneath the beds of steamship cabins—an essential feature for transatlantic passengers seeking both accessibility and efficient use of limited space.
Examples retaining their original hardware and interior appointments are increasingly scarce, and are prized for their authenticity and well-preserved character, offering a compelling testament to Vuitton’s pioneering role in the evolution of modern luggage.
