Late 19th century - France
The Lavolaille firm, successor to Katz et Cie, was founded in 1845, specializing in trunks for sales representatives. Made of wood, with strong handles and straps, and with interior layouts that varied according to the object, they were the ancestors of the "marmotte".
Lavolaille would later join forces with A. Maille, another trunk manufacturer specialized in commercial travelers.
Most trunks are covered with black canvas, steel or brass edging and decorative upholstery nails on the top or front of the trunk.
Some trunks had nails signed "Lavolaille", like Louis Vuitton nails.
