Before the introduction of Vuitton's trunks, round-top trunks were used, usually to aid water drainage, and thus could not be stacked. It was Vuitton's gray flat trunk that made it possible to easily stack them on top of each other for travel. Many other luggage makers later imitated Vuitton's style and design.

To protect against the duplication of its appearance, Vuitton changed the Trianon design to a beige and brown stripes design in 1876 and shortly afterwards the damier pattern which carried a logo that read " L. Vuitton brand déposée ", which translates to "L. Vuitton registered trademark".

In 1892, Louis Vuitton died and management of the company passed to his son.

This suitcase from 1867 is a suitcase that should not be missing in your collection and is of great historical value. The suitcase is in completely original condition and is no less than 150 years old.

This unique example is made by Louis Vuitton himself, Louis Vuitton was 37 years old when this suitcase was made.
