DIMS A green Vuittonite canvas cabin trunk by Louis Vuitton, France, circa 1909
An exceptionally rare Louis Vuitton cabin trunk, dating to circa 1909, finished in distinctive green Vuittonite canvas with contrasting orange Lozine edging and unusually large studs.
Produced in very limited numbers, this striking combination of green canvas and orange Lozine represents an uncommon variation of Louis Vuitton's early 20th-century luggage. The trunk features a low, rectangular cabin form, reinforced corners, black metal fittings and prominent studs running along the orange edging, creating a particularly attractive contrast with the dark green canvas. The interior retains its original beige fabric lining, together with Louis Vuitton labels. Designed for travelling in the confined spaces of ship cabins, the trunk's relatively shallow proportions made it particularly practical for storage beneath a berth.
An unusual and highly collectible example of Louis Vuitton's early luggage production, distinguished by its rare colour combination and distinctive oversized studs.
Condition: in good antique condition, with wear, marks and surface abrasions consistent with age and use. The interior shows some staining and discolouration. Please refer to photographs.
Dimensions: Xcm wide, Xcm deep, Xcm high
