Oh, yeah! I love the original Steamerinteresting bit of history though. LV actually came out with their steamer luggage in 1901. The flap and closure style was done decades before Hermes designed the Birkin (and who knows if the style was done even before LV).
One could argue that the Hermes Birkin is actually inspired from a LV bag meant for keeping dirty clothes inside of a wardrobe trunk.
