Why we have selected this book:

The recognisable combination of L and V is today the mark not only of the classic luggage with which the company once started in the mid-19th century, but also of an entire fashion empire. But it is still based on carefully considered design, quality and craftsmanship. This small but richly illustrated book tells the fascinating story of how the luggage makers became the most famous luxury brand in the world.

Description

Book Overview from the Publisher:

With a dedication to luxury and practicality, Louis Vuitton designed his unique lightweight, airtight luggage in 1854 and ensured that jetsetters all over the globe could travel in comfort and style. It was a creation that founded a fashion house and became a standard-bearer for all travel pieces of the future.

Exploring the history from traditional box-making to the revolution of the stackable trunk to modern-day artistic collaborations, the book captures the story and craftmanship behind this status symbol and how the luggage continues to define the spirit of travel. From the unmistakable Monogram canvas to the unpickable lock, the steamer trunk to the Speedy, every detail and feature is unveiled.
