Byline: Sonia Kolesnikov-Jessop
Nothing conveys the message of luxury travel quite like a matching set of fine designer luggage. Associated with Old World travel style, beautiful leather trunk cases have been making a strong comeback. The first flat trunks were designed by Louis Vuitton in the late 19th century specifically to accommodate rail passengers. Bulkier trunks with iron hoops were popular for stagecoach travel, but the stackable flat trunks proved more practical for railway carriages. Soon, other trunkmakers began copying Louis Vuitton's successful design, pushing the company to launch in 1896 its now iconic monogrammed canvas with the graphic symbols of quatrefoils and flowers. Today, Louis Vuitton trunks are still popular and available in a variety of designs, from the monogrammed canvas Alzer to the canvas Damier, which comes in stylish azure and a new, darker graphite (from $2,700; louisvuitton.com).
