Often when one thinks of luxury travel trunks, Louis Vuitton’s iconic monogrammed steamer trunks come to mind. But Gucci’s new Guccisima Leather Shoe Trunk and the Diamante Lux Leather Gucci Heritage Travel Trunk are stunning examples of another high-end option for travel.
Gucci Travel Trunks
Both made-to-order handcrafted leather trunks are new this season and each is available now for pre-order now. Made in Italy and priced at an exorbitant $49300 a piece, they are designed for shoes and garments. To put that price in perspective, a 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG Starts at $48,375.

Love your Louboutins? Cherish Your Choos? Baller who wears Berlutis?
