The story Behind: Louis Vuitton (LVMH) is a French luxury fashion house and company founded in 1854 by Louis Vuitton and controlled by Bernard Arnault since 1989. Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy is one of the most recognisable luxury brands in the world amongst Chanel, Christian Dior, Hermes etc. Louis Vuitton is synonymous with high-end leather luggage and handbags. Established in 1854, during an era where steam train, boat and horse-drawn carriages were the various modes of transport and luggages were very much in demand. Some rarer vintage LV bags and travel bags such as this one is even more sought after than their current day counterparts.

Louis Vuitton Speedy bag: Is one of the greatest it-bags of all time and in fact it is one of the very first bag Louis Vuitton designed and called Louis Vuitton Speedy.It is foldable and made like the Louis Vuitton Keepall, the Louis Vuitton Speedy was for a long time a purely travel accessory intended for personal belongings that the traveler wished to keep close at hand. It was also equipped with a padlock, like all travel items. Then, from an accessory, it became a handbag in its own right, retaining its Toron handles in natural calfskin leather and its riveted-studs caps for durability.”
