The Story of Louis Vuitton Luggage cover

Louis Vuitton revolutionized travel in 1854 with the creation of his elegant, lightweight, airtight trunks - setting a new standard in luxury luggage.

This visionary design not only launched a legendary fashion house but also redefined how the world journeys in style.

Tracing the evolution from traditional box-making to the invention of the stackable trunk, this beautiful photographic guide delves into the craftsmanship, ingenuity, and enduring allure of Louis Vuitton's iconic creations. From the debut of the Monogram canvas and the unpickable lock to the steamer trunk and the beloved Speedy bag, every hallmark of the house's design ethos is explored.

Featuring modern-day artistic collaborations and archival treasures, this is the definitive story of how Louis Vuitton luggage came to embody the timeless spirit of travel.
