Not sure how many times I’ve come back to rewatch this. I restore antique Louis Vuitton, Goyard trunks so I’ve done all of this individually. I’ve learnt so much from this one video. It’s filled in a lot of blanks I had of the techniques. Is this work? Hobby? Cheers. Darren.

Hi Darren, thanks for your encouragement - it's just a hobby for me but I have been woodworking and leatherworking for a long time now....how interesting that you restore trunks - is that enjoyable work? Yes trunk making is harder than it looks - the workshops in France start with pre-drilled leather and plywood and will have access to the right tools and materials which was certainly not the case here but I managed to end up with something fairly close I think and I am really happy with it...warm regards

I was tempted because my friend is black and she is often asked if her bag is fake. People just immediately assume they are. Even though I'm white, I still get people asking me if my bag is real. So I thought why should I spend so much money on these bags? So in the end I chose to buy it at *condup* . Even if it is not the original, some replicas can have special emotional value because they are connected to specific memories

I’m so sorry that I didn’t get this video come up for me sooner. It combines my 2 passions - woodworking (been doing that for over 45 years) and fine leather work (10 years?). I have made quite a few pieces in homage to brands such as Hermes for family and friends and found the real difficulty in finding the right leather, hardware etc. Luckily, I found a guy in HK and the quality of his stuff is first class. I’ve got a feeling that a trunk might have to be made!

@boreoff9 ай бұрын
Hi there, thanks very much, are you referring to the trunk borders? LV doesn't use leather, they use a canvas or for the borders they use something called Lozine which is a vulcanized fibre. Both can be sourced - have a look on Etsy for some good quality 1mm checkerboard canvas. I used French leather for the borders which I think is nicer than Lozine. Hope that helps...cheers and bon courage with you project...

@camilledabert to you this isn’t art. But to some of us it is. Regarding the choice of coated canvas, I respect your sentiment. I do. If it helps, Coco Chanel believed imitation is the highest form of flattery. For those who don’t know and for the record, The European General Court cancelled LV’s trademarks for chequerboard print because ultimately you can’t claim rights over squares. Additionally he didn’t use branding, making this is not a counterfeit item. So he is free to do whatever he wants and I actually think using this style of canvas attracted more clicks/views and will inspire others to work on their own trunks or appreciate the ones they buy or own. But your point on him using the design of the box itself… to my knowledge a box is not proprietary and no one invented that. Boring man - take us on a journey with your luggage! I want to see steamers, with drawers, coffee tables that open into glassware storage and drinks, lockable bedside tables with secret drawers.. I want to make my own monogram canvas design!
