Hundred-year-old Louis Vuitton trunks fetching top dollar? That’s what Christie’s achieved in Paris with its \u201cLegendary Trunks, Part II\u201d sale. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

A collection that rewrites the history of luxury<\/h2>\n\n

Christie’s Paris recently orchestrated a rare event in the auction world: the second part of the sale \u201cLegendary Trunks: A European Private Collection\u201d,<\/strong> dedicated to the world of Louis Vuitton. The result? A world record<\/strong>, with a total of 24 million euros ($25 million)<\/strong>, positioning this session as the most important sale ever made for a trunk collection. <\/p>\n\n

Each piece tells a piece of travel history, from iconic cabin models to shoe trunks<\/strong>, dressing tables<\/strong> and portable desks<\/strong>. More than mere objects, these trunks are seen as timeless witnesses to French savoir-faire<\/strong>, blending design, utility and refinement. <\/p>\n\n

Why these Louis Vuitton trunks are still so fascinating<\/h2>\n\n

The rarity of the models, their exceptional state of preservation and theaura of heritage<\/strong> that surrounds Louis Vuitton contribute to this phenomenon. Collectors, often from the world of art or design, are not mistaken: these objects are no longer mere luggage, but true works of art.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n
