Louis Vuitton created miniature trunks for flowers as gifts for their most loyal customers. The trunks were made to scale in wood covered with coated, monogrammed LV fabric with a removable insert to hold water. Today, due the fragility of the trunks, few examples remain.
This miniature Flower Trunk is a scale model built to specifications of the full-sized model. Paper manufacturer's label to interior ‘Louis Vuitton Paris Nice Lille London’. Impressed manufacturer's mark to clasp ‘Louis Vuitton’.
