Louis Vuitton Legendary Trunks

Louis Vuitton Trunk is one of the most iconic travel accessories in the world of luxury and travel.
As a way to capture the transformations and journeys of the trunk, a book entitled Louis Vuitton: 100 Legendary Trunks or Louis Vuitton: 100 Malles De Légende will be coming out this October.
It chronicles such stories as the birth of the monogram trunk and other variations of this Louis Vuitton piece such as the trunk bed, the wardrobe trunk, the teabox, toiletry trunk, circus trunks, and more. It also reaches beyond just the item itself and extends to some of the prominent figures that were fortunate enough to own them.



In addition to the book, Louis Vuitton has also produced 30 reproductions of labels of the hotel’s private collection in a postcard format. Presented in the same type of box that of the book, the cards evoke much of the art of the travel as the grand hotels of the world.
