A vintage Louis Vuitton Bisten travel case in classic tan and brown LV monogram coated canvas, featuring brass hardware including locks and corner bumpers. Fine details representative of the brand consist of traditional yellow stitching, rivets stamped with the maker's name, and leather trim, also decorated with the classic LV logo. Piece is locking, but does not include a key; it has a leather handle and a leather luggage tag. Inside is a simple ivory color with a pair of luggage straps with engraved hardware, plus a label with a serial number of 926164 and the addresses of Avenue Marceau, 78 Bis, Paris and 2, avenue de Sude, 06000 Nice, France, the locations of Louis Vuitton stores in France; the Paris address dates the case to between 1954, when the Louis Vuitton store on Avenue Marceau was established, and 1986, when the store on Avenue Marceau relocated to Avenue Montaigne. This suitcase shows very light overall wear on the outside commensurate with age and use, including scuffs to both the leather handle and to the corner bumpers, and the brass features some oxidation or patina. It measures approximately 22" x 5.75" x 15.75" tall when standing upright.
