And here are a few interesting facts about the brand:
All LV trunks are hand made since the 19th century.
The trunks have a five letter solid pick-proof lock with an individual handmade key. This allows the customer to have only one key for all the luggage.
The frames of each trunk are made with 30 year old poplar which is a high-quality hardwood, with a greenish color and what is special about this type of wood is that it’s a really light wood.
The poplar is let to dry for at least 4 years.
Each trunk has a serial number.
It takes an enormous time to make the serial number; it can take up to 60 hours for trunks and more than 15 hours for a suitcase.
