During this restoration, we had to deal with a trunk Louis Vuitton that had the following defects:

Here are five secrets about Louis Vuitton trunks that will make you appreciate even more their quality!

The trunk below was brought to us by a customer who wanted to save it

The trunk is almost destroyed :

- All slats are stitched

- The metal is totally rusty

- The canvas is decolated, torn, faded

- Part of the bottom slats are destroyed

- The jewelry is oxidized

It's a trunk we would not have restored in our resale business, but it was a pleasure to bring it back to life.

The customer's sympathy made us break the rule that we set ourselves not to restore more than 30%

in "entry-level" of the time. (see Louis Vuitton catalog 1914)

In the photos below, we will see, from the beginning, that the trunk is in beautiful original condition

The leathers are beautiful, except for a tear of 8 cm and a hole of 15mm diameter
The canvas is not damaged, except on a rear area of 4 cm by 8 cm, located at the back, at the bottom of the trunk.
The interior is the only real problem, since the trunk has been fitted with interior slats, not original and its interior repainted
