If you happen to be in New York in the next few days, you might want to check out the “Volez, Voguez, Voyagez” exhibition about the history of Louis Vuitton, especially since it’s free! Some of it is just advertising for the brand, but what makes it interesting is that it looks back at the history of travel through various types of luggage made by Louis Vuitton since the mid-1800s, some of which was used by famous people.

Of particular interest to me were various trunks and cases made for writers, as well as some small leather agendas. There were also some sketchbooks showing the development of Vuitton’s designs.  I even spotted a notebook being used by someone who was demonstrating some of their hand crafting techniques, and a few leather notebooks that are current items they sell (which are of course incredibly expensive).

Here’s a few photos I snapped:

The exhibition closes on January 7, 2018, so get there quick!
