836416 You'll look at all of those LV bags quite differently once you know that they typically cost about $40 to make.

145922 Someone referred me to this because the Empress Eugenie and the series at Compiegne is a big part of my new novel, and so I've been researching her exhaustively (LV made her trunks). A friend has a trunk from the early 20th Century of theirs and it's amazing. So the decline is incredibly sad.

Anything you might recommend about late 19th Century glitter and clothes would be appreciated, btw. I don't want to leave a stone unturned, as it were...
