Secrétaire Thé, the next generation of lifestyle trunk for the travelling tea-drinker

 

The Secrétaire Thé trunk and Camellia china by Louis Vuitton x Fortnum & Mason, the ultimate destination for unique gifts, is as fitting an accompaniment to an afternoon tea served in all its splendour, as it is to a leisurely cup at home.

 

Louis Vuitton has collaborated with Fortnum & Mason to develop the Secrétaire Thé, a trunk for the travelling tea fanatic or a tea-aficionado collector.

A fixture in London’s Piccadilly since 1707, Fortnum & Mason has long been renowned for its famous teas and glorious gifts. The Secrétaire Thé trunk features a wooden foldable table, removable tray, and natural cowhide leather handles. It also includes the complete Fortnum & Mason Camellia Tea Set, a beautiful, gold-gilded set made exclusively for Fortnum’s in Stoke-on-Trent—the British home of fine china for centuries—with a design inspired by the beautiful handmade wallpaper of the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon.

The trunk is part of the French Art de Vivre ‘Louis Vuitton and London,’ a collection celebrating the house’s savoir-faire and its continuing spirit of innovation.

Commending Louis Vuitton’s history with London that began when Georges Vuitton opened his first London store on March 1st 1885, it features a remarkable collection of the house’s archive trunks.

From the stunning collection of iconic hard sided trunks to the luxurious range of Objets Nomades’ lifestyle design, dedication to craftsmanship and quality continues to be a pillar for Louis Vuitton, one celebrated through the French Art de Vivre.
