Description
Since 1854, Louis Vuitton has been offering modern trunks that combine pragmatism with elegance, perfectly adapted to the new means of transport and the life changes they entail. This exceptional work, preceded by a foreword by Patrick-Louis Vuitton, brings together the most beautiful creations of the Maison through more than 800 documents. Bed-trunk, wardrobe-trunk, tea-case, toiletry set, circus trunk, library trunk or caviar box: so many incredible pieces behind which the exciting adventures of their owners can be guessed. A complete technical inventory, the craftsman-luggage maker's bible, also reveals all the manufacturing secrets of a Louis Vuitton trunk.
This book-compendium demonstrates how, from the very first rounded trunks to those designed today in the Asnières ateliers, the spirit of the Maison has always remained marked by the same will: to perpetuate the excellence of a savoir-faire and make the art of travel a true art of living.
