INSPIRATION Pinth Trunks UPPER CASE Luggage for a lifetime Long ago, travel was a much longer, more drawn out affair, reserved for the worldly and the wealthy. Armies of servants would look after the many trunks, mobile wardrobes and hatboxes of wealthy Victorian and Edwardian travellers as they embarked on epic ocean voyages or train journeys that could take weeks or months. Today, the likes of Rimowa or Tumi have created more practical if slightly less romantic luggage options that feel light as a feather as they are rolled onto our private jets or thrown into the back of the Rolls for much shorter trips. Vintage luggage, though, is by no means gone and forgotten. Far from it. Increasingly, it is being seen as a viable alternative investment – a chance to buy into the early history of a world brand. The value of it generally goes up and up. An Hermès trunk from early 1900 is currently going for 1.2 million Euros at Pinth Vintage Luggage, a vintage luggage specialist based in the Netherlands, and new price records are being set all the time at notable auctions around the world. Sourced from private collections and antiques stores internationally, they stock some of the best pieces available including priceless pieces by Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Moynat and Goyard. The company also employs an in-house team of craftsmen to ensure each piece is meticulously restored. Hong Kong based Bas Fransen, who represents Pinth Vintage Luggage in Asia, warns against using the luggage to travel. “These are delicate pieces of history, not to be thrown into a baggage hold or packed with clothes. Many of our buyers feature the luggage in their homes where it can be enjoyed as a unique piece of furnature - almost as a piece of art – and passed on for generations.” R 110 RESERVE THE
