During a late-night walk last Saturday, I happened to pass a tiny thrift shop when I literally froze in half-step. There, behind the window of the darkened store, was an antique Louis Vuitton hard-shell suitcase. Knowing that the shelf life of “vintage Louis” in Manhattan secondhand stores is measured in minutes if not seconds, I was first in the door when the place opened the next morning. The sales tag on the portmanteau constituted yet another thing you rarely find anywhere in this city: a reasonable price.
