How can you tell a Louis Vuitton trunk?
1 Answer

To tell a Louis Vuitton trunk apart from other trunks, look inside. Even antique travel trunks produced by the French luxury fashion house will typically include a label that identifies the maker. Many trunks made in 1896 or later show off Louis Vuitton's signature monogram canvas on their exteriors or linings as well. Explore a collection of Louis Vuitton trunks on 1stDibs.
