This exceptional creation draws inspiration from the first Bed Trunk, designed by founder Louis Vuitton himself in 1865, and has now been updated to blend tradition and modernity. Designed for design connoisseurs and elegant travelers, this new Bed Trunk variation celebrates the Maison's heritage of innovation while preserving tradition and savoir-faire since 1854. The exterior is covered in Louis Vuitton's classic Monogram canvas, while the interior houses a sophisticatedly constructed bed. An innovative combination of aluminum and beechwood allows the trunk to quickly and easily transform into a stable bed frame.

The mattress is custom-tailored in four sections for your comfort. Each section is padded with memory foam (shock-absorbing and low-resilience) and supported by the same cotton straps that have been used inside Louis Vuitton trunks since the earliest days to keep your belongings safe during travels. The mattress is encased in waterproof cotton intricately embroidered with the classic Monogram pattern. For added comfort, the head of the bed, complete with pillows, can be raised to the perfect angle, and a small beechwood side table is included on the trunk's edge.

In the mid-1880s, Louis Vuitton invented a new "Bed Trunk" specifically designed for explorers around the world, and in 1885, his son Georges patented the invention. The "Bed Trunk" was exhibited at several world's fairs and international expositions, where it became an immense success among travelers, explorers, and those who love to travel.

Pre-orders for the Louis Vuitton "Bed Trunk" begin on April 16th.
