LOUIS VUITTON

We are very interested in brands that have been around for hundreds of years and weren’t originally fashion. With all its complexities and, unfortunately, dark histories – Louis Vuitton is one of them. At first glance, it doesn’t seem to fit our selection — but the brand’s original purpose, box-making and crafting high-quality travel trunks, absolutely does. The LV flat trunk design was revolutionary back in the early 20th century because it was easily stackable in railway cars, making it ideal for the new era of rail and ocean travel. This durability was achieved thanks to wooden frames and waterproof canvas. Years later, Marc Jacobs handed over the same iconic canvas to collaborating artists who weirdly didn’t match the brand’s identity, creating an awkward but cool clash.

We’re not going to cater to you with runway pieces here. Instead, we’ll focus on everything OG trunk-inspired (key locks, clasps, latches), brand ephemera, humble clothing, and rare accessories.
