20th CENTURY LOUIS VUITTON STEAMER BAG IN MONOGRAM CANVAS, MADE IN FRANCE
A lovely Louis Vuitton steamer travel bag in monogram canvas and natural tan leather, made in France in the latter quarter of the 20th century. Steamer bags have been produced by Louis Vuitton for over 120 years. In 1901, the company introduced the simple canvas and leather steamer bag, whose squat, squarish proportions were based on the mailbags used in the Americas. Here was a bag that could be hung on the back of a cabin door, carried around on deck – the first-class one, of course, or stored away in the hold inside one of Louis Vuitton’s famous packing cases. The design has remained basically unchanged since then, as popular now as they were then.
