Louis Vuitton fans should start saving their pennies, or more correctly their pounds. On September 28, the famed Christie’s auction house in London will auction off a massive selection of Louis Vuitton travel bags as part of its Interiors: Style & Spirit sale.
The auction features more than 20 pieces of vintage luggage which date from the 1940s way back to the late 19th century. Suitcases, hat boxes, small trunks, and vanity cases are amongst the luxury travel items available. Many proudly tell the stories of their jet-setting heritage, with vintage travel labels, hand-painted monograms, and customized stripes all adding individual character.
The exchange rate is good at that moment, although the prices which are estimated to range from £400 to £6000 (the equivalent of $9000 US!) will still be too rich for most bagistas. If you’re lucky enough to have that kind of cash lying about though, happy bidding!
