Description
A timeless expression of luxury travel, this matched pair of vintage Louis Vuitton monogram canvas suitcases captures the romance of a bygone era. Long before airports were filled with rolling luggage, these beautifully crafted cases accompanied travelers aboard ocean liners, luxury trains, and first-class flights, developing the rich character and patina that only decades of use can create.
Finished in Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram coated canvas with natural leather trim, solid brass hardware, and stitched leather handles, these suitcases embody the exceptional craftsmanship that has made Louis Vuitton one of the world’s most recognizable luxury houses. The leather has aged beautifully, taking on the warm honey tones collectors prize, while the brass hardware retains its understated elegance.
Included with the pair are two wonderful period pieces: an original Louis Vuitton catalog from Saks Fifth Avenue and a Louis Vuitton collection brochure. These original ephemera add an extra layer of provenance and nostalgia, making this collection especially appealing to Louis Vuitton enthusiasts and collectors of vintage luxury goods.
While these cases remain wonderful examples of Louis Vuitton craftsmanship, we are offering them primarily as decorative pieces. Their authentic vintage wear tells the story of decades of travel and gives them a character that simply cannot be replicated. Whether displayed stacked beside a leather lounge chair, used as sculptural accents in a library or bedroom, or incorporated into a retail display, they bring warmth, history, and unmistakable Parisian style to any interior.
At Hobbs Modern, this is admittedly a little outside our usual collection of museum-quality mid-century furniture, but exceptional design is exceptional design. We couldn’t resist these iconic suitcases, knowing someone would appreciate them as both collectible objects and beautiful decorative accents.
