Louis Vuitton Courtois 40 M20085 Monogram Reverse Hardcase Attaché Trunk with Keys, Clochette and Dust Bag

Louis Vuitton's trunk-making heritage, condensed into an attaché: the Courtois 40 keeps the studs, edging and hard structure of a travel case, while Monogram Reverse turns the familiar palette inside out. Reference M20085 is structurally excellent and comes complete with two keys, a dust bag, clochette and name tag.

The Piece

A refined expression of Louis Vuitton's historic trunk-making vocabulary, the Courtois 40 in Monogram Reverse merges archival codes with contemporary utility. Reinforced black leather edging, a studded framework and golden hardware recall the house's century-old travel lineage, while the reversed Monogram palette brings a modern contrast. Portable, structured and durable, it carries the romance of heritage travel culture and remains one of the most distinctive hardcase silhouettes in the house's modern range.

This Courtois 40 attaché case is crafted in Monogram Reverse canvas with black leather trim and gold-tone metal hardware, combining trunk sensibilities with contemporary styling in a compact hardcase suited to both display and functional use. The lock hardware operates smoothly, and the single-compartment interior retains a clean presentation.

Complete with two keys, dust bag, clochette and name tag, it forms a full, functional set. The Courtois line is increasingly scarce on the secondary market, especially in Monogram Reverse, and this example brings strong visual impact whether used as a decorative object, a working case or an archive addition.
