Authentication & Evaluation Disclaimer: These have not been officially authenticated by Louis Vuitton or any other brand unless specifically stated in an individual lot. They come from a one-owner private collection and we have reviewed them through visual examination, market comparison, and examination of available brand-specific traits, including materials, stitching, hardware, interior construction, markings, and date codes/serial numbers when accessible. Louis Vuitton date codes/serial markings, when present, were examined and cross-referenced as one component of the overall evaluation process. Our descriptions represent our good faith professional opinion only, not a brand-issued certificate or guarantee of authenticity.

Online bidding is offered as a courtesy.

Close of Bidding: The bidding will begin to close at 12:00 PM (Eastern time zone), on Sunday, June 28, 2026 EST. The closing of items will be consecutively, one lot at a time. The auction will be simulcast on LiveAuctioneers.com with incoming competing bids accepted from both Wardlowauc.com and Liveauctioneers.com. Bidding procedure will closely replicate an in-person event with bidding period extended and terminated at the discretion of the auctioneer. Auctioneer at his, or her, sole discretion reserves the right to declare an item sold once bidding has ended on one website. For example, if the auctioneer if does not receive or advance additional bid due to a simulcast glitch, the auctioneer may deem the item sold for previous bid. Given the amount of lots in the auction, the auction will likely last most of the day. If you feel you may not be available at a certain time on June 28, please put your bids in previous to the start date in the catalog that is available now.

Additionally, failure to pay for or pick up your items will result in the loss of future bidding opportunities. These terms still apply to any winning bidders who ask us to donate items for them.
