IN RAIL LIFE

A full-sized, wooden-panelled train cabin was created for the exhibition, complete with moving-image scenery that glides slowly by in the windows. With fuller rail networks linking distant lands, train travel in the 1840s gave rise to new fashions that former Louis Vuitton creative director Marc Jacobs referenced in his collections. Louis Vuitton’s first Neverfull was a doctor’s bag style, a compact leather overnighter with a top opening for easy access.
