Authentic, preowned vintage Louis Vuitton x The French Luggage Company round wig case / hat trunk, likely produced in the 1970s, and an exceptionally rare example of Louis Vuitton’s licensed U.S. production. Crafted from the house’s iconic Monogram canvas, this piece was made in the United States under special license by The French Luggage Company, highly sought after by collectors for its unique place in Louis Vuitton history.
Designed as a round hat trunk (boîte chapeau) or wig case, it features coated leather trim, a structured silhouette, and a top handle for easy carriage. The interior is lined in brown fabric and fitted with a wooden central post, originally intended to secure a hat form or wig in place during travel. The exterior is finished with brass feet and a center zip closure with push tab, keeping contents protected while maintaining its classic travel aesthetic.
Accompanied by its original triangular Louis Vuitton / French Co monogram luggage tag (no keys included), this is a standout archival piece, ideal for the Louis Vuitton collector, luxury travel enthusiast, or as a striking interior design accent.
