When I was working at an architect studio in Milano I was extreamly shoked
when I found the large antique
Louis Vuitton trunks in the show-window of a famous luxury boutique at
Via Mt.Napoleone.
They are the very furniture not only trunks, I found and moved by the modern
functions and
traditional skills in them.Then, I become to feel somehow familiarity to
them, as a industrial designer.
After this, on the way to my country in 1974, I'd touched the L.V.Trunks directry for the first time.
The history and the story of us had just started from this L.V.Store happened to find on the
Av.Marceau in an autumn, Paris.
I began to collect the old L.V.trunks at here and there asking to our small
purse with my wife.
This is the start of the history of our Private Garret Collection Antique
Louis Vuitton .
You can find the small products telling the early days of us.
May be a Museum of surprise, a bit, - Oh ! really ? The Louis Vuitton?
Thanks!
I had a great occasion to have this EXHIBITION.
Thank you very much to the guest and the L'Institut Franco-Japonais a Yokohama
& Yokohama Red Brick House.
