A battered old storage box bought for just £12 and given as a gift turned out to be a rare Louis Vuitton storage container with an eye-watering value.
A father who has asked to remain anonymous said that he bought the trunk in 1984 and gave it to his daughter as a present as she was moving into her first flat.
He purchased it from a bric-a-brac shop in the village of St Margarets, near Twickenham, London, for his daughter Melissa to use as storage.
