Finding the Right trunks-luggage for You

Add a charming piece of travel history to your space. Antique and vintage trunks and luggage can make a statement as decorative accents and practical furnishings in nearly every room of your home.

There have been many types of trunks and luggage over the years, with availability of these wares broadening as train travel expanded during the 19th century. Antique steamer trunks — named for their use on steamships — mostly date from around 1880 to 1920. These pieces of luggage fit a steamship’s luggage size regulations and essentially doubled as wardrobes, ensuring that a traveler’s evening dresses and suits were kept wrinkle-free on a journey from city to city.

In 1858, French luxury brand Louis Vuitton introduced the world to the now-iconic Louis Vuitton trunks. During this early period of railroad travel, Louis Vuitton trunks solved common travel problems. Instead of the traditional round shape, these handcrafted rectangular trunks stored better on trains. To discourage burglars, the French craftsman and his son, Georges, also eventually patented a revolutionary sophisticated lock for the trunks. The famous LV monogram was first used in 1896 as part of an initiative by Georges to prevent counterfeiting of his coveted travel trunks.

Even if no longer used for travel, the vintage luggage is a popular item among collectors for its historical value and charm. At home, an old wood trunk is a durable storage solution as much as it is a versatile surface. It’s a coffee table in the living room of your farmhouse-style home or rustic loft apartment and a nightstand or blanket chest at the foot of your bed in your bedroom.

From Victorian trunks to Art Deco traveling jewelry cases, journey through history today with an extensive collection of antique trunk suitcases and vintage luggage on 1stDibs.

Questions About Louis Vuitton

Normally, Louis Vuitton places a limit on how long you have to return items. Check the information included with the item for specific return policies.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024
    No, not all Louis Vuitton items have date codes. The brand introduced the codes in 1982, so vintage bags produced before that date lack the code. In March 2021, Louis Vuitton began adding authentication microchips to their bags instead of stamping on date codes. You’ll find a large selection of authentic Louis Vuitton apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024
    How you wear a Louis Vuitton bandeau is a matter of personal preference because it can be worn many ways. In fact, the versatility of the accessory is part of what makes it so popular. Common styles include tying it in a knot around your neck like a scarf or wrapping it around your head as a headband. Shop a range of designer bandeau scarves on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024
    No, Supreme is not owned by Louis Vuitton. VF Corporation, which is based in Denver, Colorado, owns Supreme. A company called LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, which is headquartered in Paris, owns Louis Vuitton. However, Louis Vuitton x Supreme bags, clothing and accessories are the product of one of the most influential Louis Vuitton collaborations.

    For many years, luxury and street were totally separate domains. But a bridge joining them developed steadily during the first decades of the 21st century. Vuitton x Stephen Sprouse edged the legacy brand toward the street, while Supreme's 2012 collaboration with Comme de Garçons married street cred to high style.

    The Louis Vuitton x Supreme collab hit the runway in 2017. "Come all ye hypebeasts," announced Office magazine. "Today's Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter menswear show featured official Supreme x LV items, and the internet is freaking out."

    Shop Louis Vuitton x Supreme apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024
    Wrap your Louis Vuitton bag’s handles with a scarf by knotting one end of the scarf at the base of one side of the handle. Continue winding the scarf around the handle, wrapping it as you go. Once you reach the other side, knot it at the base of the other side’s handle. Take care to wrap evenly and try to match the length of the tail at both sides. A good tail length covers the leather of the handle to offer extra protection. Shop for your next authentic Louis Vuitton bag or scarf from the wide variety on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024
    Louis Vuitton canvas will soften naturally over time with regular use. This process leads to a beautiful bag that nestles comfortably at your side. Find a wide array of authentic Louis Vuitton products available from top boutiques worldwide on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024
    Yes, it is very common for Louis Vuitton items to have upside down LV logos because their leather goods are often made with one continuous piece of leather. Some handbag styles, like the Louis Vuitton Speedy, use one large piece of leather wrapped round the exterior, resulting in upside down LV logos. Shop a wide range of Louis Vuitton garments and handbags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024
    To find the date code on Louis Vuitton handbags, look to the interior.

On 1stDibs, find a wide range of authentic Louis Vuitton items.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024
    To put the strap on a Louis Vuitton wristlet, you can slip the strap through one of the side strap loops in the bag. Then, tuck the clasp-accented end of the strap through the slit in the opposite end of the strap. Finally, secure the clasp end to the same loop, or the loop on the opposite side of the wristlet, as desired. Browse a selection of authentic Louis Vuitton wristlets from top sellers around the world on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024
    To read a Louis Vuitton date code, look at the first two letters that represent the location of where it was made. These letters are followed by four numbers, the first and third of which tell which week of the year that the product was made, and the second and fourth tell which year it was made. You’ll find a wide variety of authentic Louis Vuitton products from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024
    Like with most Louis Vuitton handbags, the date code for a Louis Vuitton Speedy will be located inside the handbag in the internal pocket, stamped on a leather tab. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of authentic Louis Vuitton Speedy handbags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024
    There is no process to quickly add patina to your Louis Vuitton leather goods. The iconic luxury brand's leather handbags and shoulder bags, for example, will develop a layer of patina with time and continuous use.

    Patina refers to the natural aging of your Louis Vuitton leather goods. This aging affects the look, feel and color of your leather bag or accessory, and it occurs owing to everyday use as well as to the item's exposure to the oils in your skin and nature's elements.

    See Louis Vuitton's official website for guidance on caring for your leather goods, and find a collection of the brand's bags and accessories on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024

    If you want to remove the sticky lining in your Louis Vuitton bag, there are several different methods you can use. Some people use tape to pull off the lining, others use an alcohol-based product, and some just use a water-dampened cloth to rub off the lining. It should be noted that you want to be very careful removing the lining as it can damage the bag. The lining is patented by Louis Vuitton and designed to be water resistant, providing an extra layer of protection inside your handbag.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024
