This Louis Vuitton garment bag dates from the late 20th century, part of the house’s Monogram travel line that evolved from the original 1896 LV pattern created by Georges Vuitton. The design was intended for sophisticated travel, combining lightweight coated canvas with durable vachetta leather. During the 1980s and 1990s, these folding garment bags were among the most popular luxury travel pieces, preceding the rise of Louis Vuitton’s wheeled Keepall and Pegase luggage models.
What Determines Value
Authenticity, material condition, and era of production are key factors. Early pieces made in France with brass hardware and the stamped LV monogram canvas hold collector appeal. The present example shows significant wear and age, affecting resale value; however, the piece remains collectible due to its classic design and brand prestige. Values are also influenced by completeness (presence of tag, handle wrap, and working hardware).
While this example shows use and minor cosmetic distress, restoration or professional leather conditioning could improve appearance and resale value. Original hardware and matching canvas remain strong positive indicators of authenticity.
