This is definitely one of a kind. Found this at an Estate Sale in Long Beach, CA. From what I've researched this doll and trunk and it's fashions were sold as an exclusive sold at their store Champs-Elysses in Paris. Sometime in the 1940s or 1950s? They are extremely difficult to find. I would doubt there is many out there. I believe the doll was made by the French doll maker Raynal for Louis Vuitton who made high end celluloid dolls. It retains most of it's Louis Vuitton tag on it's back. Trunk has the Louis Vuitton Paris 70 Champs Elyees Nice Vichy London tag in two spots inside the trunk. There are 8 confirmed articles of cloths that are tagged Louis Vuitton although a couple others might be Louis Vuitton just missing their tags. Trunk measures about 25" x 12" x 11"
This is an amazing one of a kind vintage LV collectible and I'm lucky to have found it.
CONGRATULATIONS !!!!
Incredible find!
