Selling at $170.00 this book is gorgeous. 496 pages that covers, shows and details 100 trunk designs that have gained a place of legendary status.

There are over 800 rich, sharp and beautifully detailed photographs to drool over as well. The trunk-bed, steamer trunk, tea case, toiletry kit, circus trunk, library trunk, and caviar box are just a few of the many incredible pieces featured in the book and they are accompanied with the engaging and fascinating stories of how they actually came to be created. There is even a full technical review which is the basic manual for the artisanal trunkmaker, revealing the secrets of making a Louis Vuitton trunk.

Although I shall never be the owner of an LV trunk (I don't dwell in that globe trotting, explorer style of living sadly) I do still love to dream and hope and this book helps the dreams gain full flavour and depth!
