This is a Louis Vuitton/Jenny Lind Homage toy trunk made by HMS Antique Trunks. This is not from Louis Vuitton, but rather a trunk that I thought they should've made. I made this trunk from an original 1860's Jenny Lind toy trunk box, then covered it with LV Monogram Multicolore canvas. I bound it with creased leather held on with over 300 brass nails. Solid brass lock, and LV style handles. The interior has been painstakingly produced to that LV style. The interior fabric is white cotton, and the lid is silk over padding with correct style ribbon and brass nails. The tray has the distinctive LV Orange lids. The trunk is 12" long. Sorry for the poor photos, I had to take them indoors due to the rain. I had a lot of fun doing this!

It is a fabulous result! A beautiful looking trunk.
I'm interested where you would find LV monogrammed canvas lol.
Thank you Racer. I actually purchased the canvas at a local fabrics store about 2 years ago. One yard was all they had, and said they would not be getting anymore. Probably a Chinese knock off, but it looked cool.
Well used then!!
