Rare 1920s Louis Vuitton Shoe Trunk for Sale at $68,500

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Shoes

A rare and highly sought-after piece of vintage Louis Vuitton luggage, the renowned "Malle Chaussures" shoe trunk (above) from the 1920s, is being offered for sale by London's Pullman Gallery for $68,500. The trunk "embodies the glamour and sophistication of a more elegant era, when such items were de rigeur for wealthy travelers." Featuring the iconic LV monogram on its canvas-upholstered frame, the trunk is fully outfitted for most meticulous fashion plate. It contains compartments for 30 pairs of shoes in individual shoe boxes with ancillary drawers and trays for a shoe-cleaning kit. Each of the padded drawers features a leather pull tab and nameplate. The trunk easily rivals the examples to be found in Vuitton's own archives, and is nearly identical to one featured in the amazing Louis Vuitton: 100 Legendary Trunks book we wrote about in January.

Louis Vuitton has had an online presence for a while now but they are stepping up their game today by introducing the Totally Monogram tote online first. It is available exclusively on www.louisvuitton.com until June 1st and sells for $1,000.

Louis Vuitton has also joined the Twitterverse. You can follow them @LouisVuitton_US (they don't appear to own the @LouisVuitton name on Twitter yet but I suspect they'll go after it). A press release promises that the Vuitton Twitter feed will offer info on new products and Louis Vuitton events. So far the Louis Vuitton Twitter feed isn't too interesting but if you are going to follow them, we recommend you follow us too (@Luxist). We'll do our best to keep you entertained.
