If your wealthy aunt has just kicked the bucket or your Lotto numbers have come up, you may be interested in the Louis Vuitton Malle Chaussures shoe trunk currently available through London’s Pullman Gallery. Because that’s the only way you’ll be able to appreciate its whopping $68, 500 price tag!
The rest of us will simply have to dream about owning this shoe lovers’ dream from the 1920s. It recalls a glamorous time in Western history, when travel was for the wealthy and every voyager had trunks just like this.
Its canvas upholstered frame features Louis Vuitton’s iconic tan LV monogram print, which has remained unchanged for more than a century. Carrie Bradshaw would be proud to own a case such as this, as it features compartments for 30 pairs of shoes in their protective boxes. There are also extra drawers and trays for holding a shoe-cleaning kit and other footwear essentials. Every drawer is luxuriously padded and finished with a nameplate and leather pull tab.
The Louis Vuitton: 100 Legendary Trunks book released last November had me salivating over vintage trunks and chests just like this. Now if I only had a spare $68, 500 lying around, it would be mine!
