Louis Vuitton’s early travel trunks are functional design icons—built for an era when luggage was engineered like furniture, designed to withstand long-distance voyages, and finished with the brand’s now-legendary Monogram canvas and brass hardware. Today, these pieces sit at the intersection of luxury heritage and decorative arts: equally compelling as a collectible object, an interior statement, or a historically significant design artifact.
Offered here is a Louis Vuitton Monogram cabin/steamer trunk, dated approximately to the 1930s, featuring riveted brass hardware, quilted padded lid lining, and an original Louis Vuitton interior label listing historic boutique addresses (Paris, London, Nice, and Lille) with the associated number “53105.” Importantly, the trunk retains a removable interior insert panel with original straps and buckles, and a key is included—details that collectors value highly. The interior shows visible staining and age wear consistent with decades of use, lending an authentic patina and unmistakable character.
