See moreThe Trunks and Suitcases collection at Konesseur curates six authenticated Louis Vuitton pieces that span the maison's heritage from its founding trunk making traditions to contemporary creative collaborations. The Courrier Lozine 110 is a grand scale trunk that connects directly to the craft that Louis Vuitton himself established in Paris in 1854. The Bisten series in three sizes carries forward the hard sided suitcase tradition that made Louis Vuitton the most trusted name in luxury travel. And the Nigo Cotteville 40 and Boite Flacon represent modern reinterpretations of heritage formats through the lens of collaboration and contemporary design.
These are not mass production pieces. Each trunk and suitcase in this collection represents craftsmanship that takes days or weeks to complete by hand, using techniques that have been passed down through generations of Louis Vuitton artisans at the Asnières atelier outside Paris. Prices range from 15,500 AED for the Boite Flacon to 195,000 AED for the Courrier Lozine 110, all under the UAE's 5% VAT advantage.

The Art of the Trunk: Louis Vuitton Since 1854
Louis Vuitton's history begins with trunks. In 1854, after years of apprenticeship under Monsieur Maréchal, the official trunk maker and packer to the Empress of France, Louis Vuitton opened his own workshop at 4 Rue Neuve des Capucines in Paris. His innovation was as practical as it was revolutionary: flat topped trunks that could be stacked during the steamship and railway journeys that were transforming how the world travelled. Competitors were still making domed tops that prevented stacking, so Vuitton's design immediately solved a problem that every serious traveller of the era faced.
From that first workshop, Louis Vuitton built a trunk making tradition that has never been interrupted. His son Georges introduced the iconic Monogram canvas in 1896 to prevent counterfeiting. His grandson Gaston Louis pioneered Art Deco trunk designs in the 1920s. Today, the most important Louis Vuitton trunks are still handmade at the Asnières atelier on the outskirts of Paris, the same site where Louis Vuitton himself relocated the workshop in 1859. The trunks in this collection are direct descendants of that lineage, carrying forward over 170 years of craft in every joint, hinge, and surface.
The Courrier Lozine 110
The Louis Vuitton Courrier Lozine 110 at 195,000 AED is the centrepiece of this collection and one of the most significant Louis Vuitton pieces at Konesseur. The Courrier trunk is one of the most emblematic models in the maison's catalogue, originally designed for the most distinguished travellers who needed to transport substantial wardrobes across continents by steamship and rail. The 110cm dimension makes this one of the larger Courrier formats, providing the kind of interior volume that allowed original owners to carry entire wardrobes including formal evening wear, daytime clothing, and personal effects in a single, meticulously organised piece.
The Lozine trim (a coated canvas material that Louis Vuitton developed as a lighter, more durable alternative to traditional leather edging) is a signature of the maison's practical innovation. The solid brass hardware, including Louis Vuitton stamped locks, clasps, and studs, provides both security and the distinctive visual character that identifies a genuine Louis Vuitton trunk at a glance. The interior is lined and structured to protect contents during the rigours of travel, though today many collectors use Courrier trunks as statement pieces in living rooms, studies, or dressing rooms where they function as both storage and decorative centrepiece.
The Bisten Series
The Louis Vuitton Bisten is one of the maison's most enduring suitcase designs and an integral part of the brand's prestigious travel heritage. The name itself has become synonymous with the hard sided Louis Vuitton suitcase, and the model has been in continuous production in various forms for decades. Konesseur carries the Bisten in all three standard sizes, giving collectors the option to choose the proportion that best suits their needs or to acquire the complete set.
The Bisten 50 at 38,000 AED is the most compact of the three. At 50cm in length, it is the ideal size for weekend travel or as a secondary piece alongside a larger trunk. Its proportions also make it the most practical for use as a decorative or storage piece in the home, fitting neatly on shelves, in closets, or as a bedside accent.
The Bisten 60 at 40,000 AED steps up to 60cm and provides the additional volume needed for longer trips or more substantial wardrobes. This is the mid range option that balances capacity with manageability, and many collectors consider it the most versatile size for both travel and display purposes.
The Bisten 70 at 43,000 AED is the largest of the three and the closest in spirit to the Courrier tradition. At 70cm in length, it accommodates extended travel requirements and makes a significant visual statement whether in use or on display. The Monogram canvas, lozine trim, and solid brass hardware are consistent across all three sizes, ensuring the same level of Louis Vuitton craftsmanship regardless of which proportion you choose.
Owning the complete Bisten set (50, 60, and 70) at a combined investment of 121,000 AED is a collector statement that demonstrates both commitment to Louis Vuitton heritage and an understanding of how these pieces work together visually and functionally. Displayed as a stacked set, they evoke the golden age of luxury travel in a way that few other objects can replicate.
The Nigo Cotteville 40
The Louis Vuitton x Nigo Cotteville 40 Monogram Reverse Stripes at 95,000 AED bridges Louis Vuitton's heritage trunk formats with contemporary streetwear design. The Cotteville is a smaller trunk format that Louis Vuitton has produced for over a century, originally designed as a compact travel case for personal effects. Nigo, the Japanese designer who founded A Bathing Ape and collaborated extensively with Virgil Abloh on the LV² collection, reimagined the Cotteville in the Monogram Reverse Stripes treatment that became one of the most recognisable visual codes of the collaboration.
At 40cm, the Cotteville is compact enough to function as a decorative object or storage piece while retaining the full structural integrity and brass hardware of a traditional Louis Vuitton trunk. The Monogram Reverse treatment inverts the classic canvas pattern for a tonal effect, while the stripe detailing adds graphic modernity that reflects Nigo's design language. This is a piece where heritage and contemporary culture converge, and following Virgil Abloh's passing in November 2021, items from the LV² collaboration carry heightened significance for collectors.
The Boite Flacon Damier Graphite
The Louis Vuitton Boite Flacon Damier Graphite at 15,500 AED is the collection's most accessible piece and one of its most charming. The Boite Flacon (literally "bottle box") is a vanity trunk format that Louis Vuitton originally designed for carrying perfumes, cosmetics, and grooming essentials during travel. The structured interior compartments protect delicate items, while the hard sided construction ensures that bottles and containers remain secure in transit.
The Damier Graphite canvas gives this piece a masculine, contemporary character that complements the other Monogram pieces in the collection. At 15,500 AED, it serves as an excellent entry point into Louis Vuitton trunk collecting, delivering the craftsmanship, hardware quality, and design heritage of the larger trunks in a more compact and accessible format. It also functions beautifully as a statement accessory for a dressing table, bathroom, or study.
Trunks as Collector Objects
Louis Vuitton trunks occupy a unique position in the luxury market. They are simultaneously functional travel pieces, decorative objects, and collector items with genuine investment characteristics. The craft that goes into each trunk, from the hand applied canvas and hand cut leather to the individually fitted brass hardware, means that no two examples are truly identical. Vintage trunks from the early 20th century regularly command six figure prices at auction, and even contemporary production trunks from limited editions and collaborations appreciate as they leave the retail market.
In Dubai, where interiors are designed to reflect the taste and collecting philosophy of their owners, Louis Vuitton trunks function as anchor pieces that announce a commitment to heritage craftsmanship. A Courrier Lozine as a living room centrepiece, a Bisten stack in an entrance hall, or a Cotteville on a study shelf each communicate something specific about the collector's relationship with luxury and history.
Buying Louis Vuitton Trunks in Dubai
The UAE's 5% VAT rate versus 20% in most European countries creates meaningful savings, particularly on the Courrier Lozine at 195,000 AED and the Nigo Cotteville at 95,000 AED where the tax differential is substantial. Beyond pricing, Konesseur's authentication process covers every aspect of each trunk: canvas condition and authenticity, lozine or leather trim integrity, brass hardware verification, lock and clasp functionality, interior lining condition, and for the Nigo Cotteville, the specific collaboration markings and Monogram Reverse Stripes treatment.
Visit the boutique at Box Park on Al Wasl Road to experience these pieces in person. The physical presence of a Louis Vuitton trunk, from the weight of the brass to the texture of the canvas, cannot be fully appreciated through images alone.
