An exquisite “malle haute“ (tall trunk) by Louis Vuitton, early 20th century. This trunk was the must have item of any elite traveller. Covered in the rare orange “Vuittonite” canvas, with its lleather borders and reinforced leather corners, it would have been the top of the line even at the time of purchase some 100 years ago. The orange Vuittonite canvas was a water resistant canvas that was used on Vuitton’s trunks from the turn of the century to 1920‘s. Trunks covered with orange Vuittonite canvas are nowadays rather rare and therefore appreciated by collectors. Oozing style and elegance this trunk makes for a fantastic conversation piece, a great size for a coffee table or just as a standalone item suitable for any interior, both modern or traditional.
