A used bag. The small shoulder bag is back, and the originals are still out there. A bag from this era was designed to be carried, not photographed, and it shows in the hardware and the stitching.
Trunks that built a luggage empire.
Founded in 1854 in Paris by Louis Vuitton, a trunk maker who designed the flat-top, stackable trunk. The monogram canvas arrived in 1896, and the house became the most valuable luxury label in the world.
Vintage Vuitton spans a century of the most recognisable canvas ever made. The Speedy, Keepall and Noe are staples that hold value, and the older hard-sided trunks are true collectibles.
What to look for
Date codes inside the bag tell the era. Real monogram canvas is evenly printed with a warm honey-brown leather that patinas, and the hardware is heavy and stamped.
Look at the corners, hardware and lining. Real bags age at the stress points first, so a worn corner is often a good sign, not a flaw.
How to wear it
Wear it high and tight under the arm, the way the strap length was intended. Let a loud bag do the talking against plain tailoring.
