I always write (or take a photo of) the corresponding label/description of any object I take a picture of, but I rushed through the Louis Vuitton "Volez, Voguez, Voyagez" show last November, which was magical in its own way seeing those beautifully crafted objects through a whirlwind "volez" tour. I meant to go back but didn't have the time.

The best I can say is that the yellow hat from above is from around the 1920 based on the hat itself and other tags on similar objects. And the trunk is a "hat trunk," as far as I can remember, with special compartments for various hat/head-related accessories.

Hat Duel

Why would a guy with a baseball cap show up at an exhibition like this one (even if it was free)?
