Louis Vuitton library trunk

Exceptional and rare Louis Vuitton library trunk from 1933, also called "Hemingway model" in reference to the author Ernest Hemingway who used this type of luggage.

This trunk is covered with the iconic Louis Vuitton monogram canvas and is protected by lozine borders. There are two signed and numbered brass clasps on each side, as well as two brass toads on the front.
An original leather handle signed Louis Vuitton is attached to the top of the trunk.

There are seven compartments inside the luggage, with specific places to store books, a typewriter or documents. A mechanical system holds the two top drawers in place to ensure that they stay open when the trunk is opened.

A typewriter from the 1930s is still present in the trunk. It is stored in a small case, then put away in the middle compartment provided for this purpose.

This type of trunk, once used by the greatest authors, is now particularly rare to find. The Louis Vuitton collection has a similar model, presented in a book dedicated to their most beautiful models: "100 trunks of Legend".

This trunk is in very good condition : with some small marks on the canvas and the lozine.
