Louis Vuitton 'Malle Aero' trunk.
About the Item
The ‘Malle Aero’ was designed by twin brothers Pierre and Jean Vuitton, (born 1890), in 1910. Designed to be light in weight, compact and versatile, the ‘Aero’ weighed only 57 lbs (26 kgs) when packed with a prescribled list of contents. The Vuitton twins were pioneer aviators and designed, amongst many other things, a primitive helicopter, the Vuitton III, shown (with the ‘Malle Aero’) at the fore-runner of the Paris Air Show at the Grand Palais in November 1910.
