Gucci 100 Music 1940s Wardrobe Trunk – Canvas Leather Wood Steamer Closet – Rare Vintage Gucci Travel Case S Rank Collector Piece

✨ A spectacular archival wardrobe trunk from Gucci’s rare “100 Music” series — a sculptural, freestanding travel closet crafted with canvas, leather, and wood. Designed for stage performers, tailors, and couture travelers of the early 20th century, this masterpiece showcases Gucci’s early luggage-making excellence. A museum-worthy object that unites fashion history, artisan construction, and unmistakable Italian flair.

DESCRIPTION

This Gucci 100 Music 1940s Wardrobe Trunk stands among the most impressive vintage creations produced during Gucci’s golden age of travel craftsmanship. Designed as a portable, full-height armoire, it reflects the era when luxury trunks were built not merely for transport, but as intimate companions of performers, travelers, and gentlemen of the arts.

Constructed with a canvas-covered body, reinforced leather and wood structural elements, and accented with gold-tone hardware, the trunk opens into a dual-sided wardrobe interior:

• A full-height hanging compartment with straps and a sculpted wooden hanger set.

• A vertical chest of drawers for garments, accessories, and small travel items.

The interior’s refined layout and dramatic height — approximately 131.5 cm — make this piece a striking display element in modern spaces such as studios, walk-in closets, ateliers, or luxury interiors.

As an S-Rank unused vintage piece, the trunk has remained preserved for decades with only faint storage signs. Its rarity is emphasized by the limited production of Gucci’s early wardrobe trunks and the near-impossible task of sourcing a complete example in unused condition.

Whether showcased as a fashion-installation piece, used as functional interior storage, or kept as a long-term collectible investment, this trunk captures the essence of Gucci’s heritage and Italy’s old-world artisanal charm.

🏛️ GUCCI HERITAGE

Before becoming a fashion house, Gucci was renowned for producing refined travel goods inspired by Italian saddlery craftsmanship. Early Gucci trunks represent the maison’s foundational identity: equestrian leatherwork, robust construction, and refined utility.

This 100 Music wardrobe trunk embodies Gucci’s early artisanal era — when pieces were handmade in small batches and intended to accompany musicians, tailors, and world travelers. Today, surviving examples serve as sculptural reminders of Gucci’s origins and remain highly sought after by serious collectors.
