Louis Vuitton Shoe Trunk
Her Louis Vuitton trunk carried clothing accessories and 18 pairs of
shoes. The trunk’s exterior bears
the LV logo Monogram Canvas,
with leather tabs and solid brass trim. There is a serial number on
the
keyhole plate and inside is a leather manufacturer's label.
Nine pairs of Dunham’s shoes are in the trunk. (Dimensions: H33” x W28” x D16”)
Following World War II, the Dunham Dance Company toured abroad to enthusiastic
reviews in Mexico,
London, Paris, South America, Australia, New Zealand,
and Asia. Assortments of international travel stickers layered on her
trunk remind us of Dunham’s own words about her dance company: “Without
Europe, we couldn’t have survived.”
