Louis Vuitton Malle Courrier 100 M13220 Monogram Canvas Trunk with Two Removable Trays

The Malle Courrier is among Louis Vuitton's most iconic trunk silhouettes, a spacious, architectural case engineered for rigorous global travel. This 100 cm example in Monogram canvas, with natural leather bindings, brass mounts and two removable trays, carries the spirit of the steamer age into an heirloom-level object.

The Piece

Crafted in Monogram canvas and framed with natural leather bindings and brass mounts, the Malle Courrier 100 (M13220) embodies the golden age of steamer voyages and luxury expeditions. Some Louis Vuitton trunks are collectible; a rare few become heritage objects, carrying the spirit of nineteenth- and twentieth-century travel, craftsmanship and Parisian artistry. This example, complete with its double stacking trays, belongs to that upper tier.

It is fitted with two internal removable trays, which make it more functional, and rarer, than standard Malle Courrier models. Such trays were traditionally used for clothing, accessories, documents or valuables, and today they make the trunk exceptionally versatile for interior styling or museum-grade display.

The exterior presents classic Monogram canvas with complementary gold-tone hardware aged naturally to a warm patina. Corner protectors, brass lock plates and studs remain visually impressive and give the trunk a strong sculptural presence. Inside, the interior is clean and well preserved, the trays intact and structurally sound, and the trunk opens smoothly with the satisfying mechanical precision characteristic of Louis Vuitton hard cases of its era.

Suitable as a coffee-table trunk, decorative storage, display pedestal, boutique prop or centerpiece, the Malle Courrier 100 is a timeless expression of vintage travel luxury. Its large scale makes it a focal point in boutiques, lounges, studios and residences, and the format is regarded as a heritage silhouette among trunk collectors; from 1854 onward Louis Vuitton trunks defined the culture of elegant travel, and vintage examples remain prized by museums, interior designers and connoisseurs worldwide.
