The latter are the original inspiration for the Mon Monogram personalization program recently re-introduced by Vuitton, harking back to the golden age of travel when aristocrats, sporting gentlemen and military officers would have their custom-made luggage emblazoned with their monogram, emblem, racing or regimental colors. With an inviting estimate range of £400 for smaller cases to £6,000 (about $9,000) for the steamer trunks along with favorable exchange rates, this is a perfect opportunity to add to or begin that vintage luggage collection and recapture the glamour and decadence of a bygone era when journeying to a foreign land involved adventure, romance and style.
