Passionate about collecting since his childhood, Gaston-Louis Vuitton (1883-1970) amassed thousands of objects throughout his life. His interests and insatiable curiosity were closely linked to the future of the family business and his travels. In addition to building his own collection of trunks, his primary motivation which he publicly declared, Gaston-Louis' eye was drawn to rare old travel items, locks, hand tools, perfume bottles , tribal art, canes, antique children's toys, books, hotel labels, printed monograms and other typographic rarities. This collection will capture the imagination of anyone who is fascinated by eccentric and eclectic curiosities, or who is interested in the cultural taste of someone who lived at the height of the Art Deco period. In reality, Gaston-Louis' life was defined by the rigors and rewards of traveling the world.
