ANTIQUE 20thC LOUIS VUITTON "MALLE HAUTE" TRUNK IN WOVEN CANVAS, FRANCE c.1900
£19,995.00
Around the turn of the 19th and 20th century Louis Vuitton had established himself as a market leader in trunk making and needed to set his now famous brand apart from the imitators and competitors. They decided to come up with a logo, a monogram, which was indeed the famous and very recognisable print we are so familiar with today. The very first run was only made for about six years from 1895 and the print was woven into the canvas.
