In 1925 Louis Vuitton created a special trunk in its iconic monogram canvas to house a portable set of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica for the traveling scholar.
A later owner adapted the rare item to a more practical purpose, turning it into the world’s most stylish portable humidor.
The trunk was refitted to house 500 cigars in removable boxes lined with seasoned Spanish cedar along with a removable humidor in burled American walnut.
Measuring 36 inches in length (overall), this exquisite humidor is priced at $27,800 and available at Pullman Gallery’s, Kingstreet store.
