H.J. Cave & Sons lavori

H.J. Cave & Sons is a London-based leather luxury goods company founded in 1839 and regarded by some as the inventor of the luxury leather handbag. The Original Company was established in 1839 as a sold trader, the company is famous for making the Osilite trunk, a strong and light trunk used on the 1933 Everest Expedition and several other adventures. The case won several major prizes in the 19th Century including first prize in Paris in 1867, beating rivals Asprey. The trunk was popular as an early flight case. It is also thought that they could have been earliest pioneers of the modern purse or handbag. it is known that Samuel Parkinson; an industrialist, purchased a handbag in the mid to late 1800s, made of the same leather as the luggage for his wife to use on the train. This is the first record of a designer handbag or purse as in modern use. It is known that Cave inspired both Louis Vuitton and a young Guccio Gucci. The company in 2014 filed documents to launch on Tmall in China and HK. The company name has changed hands several times and in the early 21st Century the company was formally resurrected as H.J. Cave & Sons Ltd. It has updated its product line to include more modern designs as well as maintaining their vintage collections.
