From Moscow to Istanbul
The Archivary - Italian Curation

A pocket guide to five cities of central and eastern Europe, published in French by a house that began as a maker of travelling trunks. It records where Louis Vuitton sent its readers in 2002.

The Object and Its Moment
A Guide in French

This Louis Vuitton City Guide is the 2002 French edition covering Moscow, Vienna, Prague, Budapest and Istanbul. It has 185 pages and a pastel lime green paper cover, and measures 12.1 x 20.5 cm.

Five cities in one volume.

The Fashion Landscape
A Travel House

Louis Vuitton was founded in Paris in 1854 as a trunk maker, and travel has remained central to the house. The City Guide series, launched in 1998, carried that association into publishing.

The Wider Culture
Central Europe and Beyond

Vienna, Prague and Budapest share the architecture and café culture of the former Habsburg lands, while Moscow and Istanbul take the volume east, to the edge of Asia.

Reading the Object
Made to Be Carried

The compact paperback format suits travel, and the pastel lime green cover is in very good condition.

A compact format, made to be carried.

Why It Matters Now
Earlier Editions

The City Guides have been updated many times since 1998. A 2002 edition records the addresses and recommendations of its moment.
