LEOPOLOD STOKOWSKI LOUIS VUITTON DESK TRUNK, 1930

IN THE YEAR OF 1930 LOUIS VUITTON CREATED ONE OF THEIR MOST REMARKABLE PIECES FOR ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR LEOPOLD STOKOWSKI.THE DESK TRUNK WAS DESIGNED WITH THE SIGNATURE MONOGRAM CANVAS AND LINED IN SWALLOW GRAY VUITTON. OVER THE YEARS OF FOLLOWING LOUIS VUITTON  LUGGAGE WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH THEIR GREAT MONOGRAM DESIGNS BUT WHAT MOST SEEM TO FORGET IS THAT LV ALSO COMES WITH USEFUL COMPARTMENTS WITHIN EVERY PIECE. THE  LV DESK TRUNK PROVIDED FOR LEOPOLD IN 1930 CAME WITH A NUMBER OF DEPARTMENTS FOR HIS MUSIC. THIS TRUNK CAME WITH SHELVES FOR BOOKS, DRAWERS FOR MUSIC SHEETS, SCORES, MUSIC PAPER, A FILE DRAWER, AND SPACE FOR A TYPE WRITER. ONCE THE TRUNK OPENED AN EXTENSION WAS PROVIDED, IT WAS A COLLAPSIBLE TABLE INSPIRED BY THE CAMPING EQUIPMENT CONCEIVED FOR AUTOMOBILES. THIS WAS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST AND USEFUL LOUIS VUITTON TRUNKS CREATED IN THE START OF THE BRAND. I PRESENT THE LEOPOLD STOKOWSKI LOUIS VUITTON DESK TRUNK CREATED IN 1930.

LOUIS VUITTON "LADY TRUNK" CREATED IN 1906

THE LOUIS VUITTON "LADY TRUNK" WAS DISCOVERED WITHIN THE  FIRST YEARS OF  THE COMPANY. THE YEAR OF 1906 FOUNDER LOUIS VUITTON  DECIDED TO CREATE A MONOGRAM TRUNK FOR THE LADIES. THIS SPECIAL TRUNK WOULD MAKE PACKING SO MUCH EASIER FOR FEMALE CLIENTS OF LOUIS VUITTON THAT OTHER WOMAN AND THEIR MAIDS WOULD LACK. INSIDE THE TRUNK WOULD INCLUDE  FOUR REMOVABLE TRAYS: ONE FOR HATS; ONE WITH DIVIDERS FOR ACCESSORIES THAT WERE PROTECTED SUCH AS GLOVES, FANS, JABOTS, AND ALSO SHAWLS. ANOTHER DIVIDER FOR UNDER GARMENTS; SUCH AS PETTICOATS, CHEMISES, CORSETS, AND HOSIERY.THE LEFT SPACE WAS FOR MUCH LARGER ITEMS WOMEN WOULD NEED USE FOR SUCH AS COATS. THE DESIGN OF THIS TRUNK WOULD MURDER COMPETITION AS THE THE BIG "LV" STANDS ON THE OUT OF THE TRUNK IN YELLOW GOLD. IF MY TIME WAS AROUND THE YEARS OF THE EARLY 1900'S I WOULD MAKE SURE MY WIFE HAD THIS TRUNK STASHED AWAY IN HER CLOSET. THIS VINTAGE TRUNK DESIGN IS CLASSIC. YOU ARE NOW LOOKING AT THE "LADY TRUNK" OF 1906.

LOUIS VUITTON " TRUNK FOR FLOWERS" 1910

IN THE YEAR OF 1910  BROTHERS GEORGE AND GASTON-LOUIS VUITTON CAME UP WITH ONE OF THE BEST CREATIONS THE LOUIS VUITTON FRANCHISE WOULD EVER SEE. TO GIVE THANKS TO WOMEN CUSTOMERS THAT WOULD MAKE PLENTY PURCHASES YEARLY GASTON AND GEORGE DESIGNED TRUNK FOR FLOWERS. I KNOW YOUR THINKING HOW COULD THEY MAKE THIS, WOULDN'T THE FLOWERS EVENTUALLY DIE OUT. THE METHOD FOR THE "TRUNK FOR FLOWERS" WAS SIMPLE. GASTON AND GEORGE DESIGNED THE TRUNK WITH A ZINC TUBE THAT PROTECTED THE FLOWERS FROM WATER AND HUMIDITY. THIS WAS A MUCH BETTER WAY TO THANK THEIR LOYAL FEMALE CLIENTS THAN SENDING FLOWERS IN TISSUE PAPER AND ASPARAGUS FERNS. DAMN IT LOOKS LIKE I'M WISHING LV MAKES THIS AGAIN WHEN I GET MARRIED TO  THAT ONE LUCKY LADY,SHE WOULD FALL OUT IF HAD THIS LAID OUT ON OUR BED PROBABLY. THIS IS THE "TRUNK FOR FLOWERS THAT WAS DISCOVERED IN 1910 BY GASTON AND GEORGE- LOUIS VUITTON.
