Condition:
Overall, this trunk is in most excellent structural condition. The exterior monogram canvas shows normal travel wear expected of a trunk this age. Leather trim is cracking and has fallen off in some places. Furthermore, leather strap is missing on front and back sides. All the tacks, rivets and buckles are intact. Brass handles remain strong and intact. Original wooden slats are present and have a nice rich patina. Bottom is missing front right metal foot. The interior is in overall great condition, though displays staining primarily on left side, that appears to be a result of water damage. Interior tray insert is included and is in overall good condition. Most of criss-cross ribbon pattern intact, however there are a few loose or missing pieces (see picture). Lock and latches are in working condition though display general tarnish and rust, as well as key for lock is missing. Please see ALL pictures for visual details.

This French maison was founded in 1854 and is one of the world’s leading international fashion houses. The company’s founder, Louis Vuitton (1821-1892), was appointed as official Layetier (trunk maker) to the wife of Napoleon III of France, which was where he developed advanced knowledge of what made a good traveling case before starting his eponymous collection. This Royal history continues today with impeccably crafted handbags, accessories and traveling cases that can be seen on some of the most well- heeled women and men in the world. Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Mikhail Gorbachev, Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi, Catherine Deneuve, and Gisele Bundchen have all appeared in Louis Vuitton ads, and the company has collaborated with power-house designers like Marc Jacobs and Takashi Murakami in the development of limited edition collections. Among celebrities such as Alicia Keys and Karl Lagerfeld, who have commissioned the brand to create custom-made pieces for them, world-renowned French master chef Eric Ripert recently commissioned the house to create a custom-made traveling case for his knives.
