Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What makes the Louis Vuitton Hot Air Balloon Snow Globe special? A: This vintage decorative piece is a Louis Vuitton collector’s object featuring a hot air balloon, clouds, doves and a miniature Monogram trunk beneath a glass dome. Similar examples are commonly described on the secondary market as the Ballon d'Air or Aero design from around 2013, which makes it especially appealing to collectors of Louis Vuitton home objects.
Q: Is this snow globe meant for practical use or display? A: It is best suited as a display piece rather than an everyday-use item. Like most collectible snow globes, it should be handled carefully and kept safely on a stable surface.
Q: What size is this item? A: This piece measures approximately 11 cm in height, 8 cm in width and 8 cm in depth. Its compact size makes it easy to display on a shelf, desk or in a cabinet.
Q: What condition is this piece in? A: It is listed in good vintage condition with light traces of use. The interior is noted as a little dusty, so gentle signs of age should be expected rather than a like-new finish.
Q: Does it come with the original box or other included items? A: The product information for this listing states that no additional included items come with it. If original packaging is important to you, please rely on the included items shown and described for this specific piece.
Q: Can I shake the snow globe? A: A gentle occasional shake is generally fine for a decorative snow globe, but frequent or vigorous shaking is not recommended. Over time, rough handling can stress the seal and affect delicate interior details.
Q: How should I care for and display it? A: It is best displayed in a temperature-controlled room, away from direct sunlight, radiators and very cold areas. Dust the exterior gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid harsh cleaning products or abrasive materials.
Q: What if I notice cloudiness, an air bubble or a leak? A: These issues can appear in older snow globes as they age or if they have been exposed to heat or temperature changes. Because this is a collectible item, professional restoration is usually safer than attempting a home repair.
Q: Is this considered a rare Louis Vuitton piece? A: Louis Vuitton snow globes are niche collectible novelties and appear far less often than the brand’s handbags or small leather goods. Hot air balloon versions are especially appealing to buyers who collect seasonal, decorative or client gift pieces.
