Malle Fleurs ...making a flower trunk..20k to 1,300.

[kellyh]

So in 1910 Louis Vuitton gave the VIP customers small trunks filled with flowers.. This was to apologize for the late arrival of their travel trunks due to regional flooding.

They are beautiful and featured in the LV Trunks book.

I haaad to have one.. One look at christine's tells me the going price is 20K. Um no way. The LV site has one for 6K still no way. I hatch an idea. Buy a beauty trunk and fill it with flowers. I stalked ebay for six months and found one for 1,300. It turned out beautiful.

@kellyh great job! Is this an actual Malle Fleurs box or is it a Boîte Bouteilles?

Yes Thank you its a Boite Bouteilles. I Found the picture you see pasted on the back of the box on the internet. Then I tea stained and torn it up a bit. I just adore it
