The Story

A wearable miniature of the 19th-century Louis Vuitton steamer trunk.

Origin

A debut-collection statement

Nicolas Ghesquière introduced the Petite Malle at his first Louis Vuitton show, Fall/Winter 2014, shrinking the house's 19th-century trunk into a handbag to signal a return to its travel roots.

Design

A trunk you can carry

It is built like the full-size trunks, with brass corners, a calfskin trim and an engraved LV S-lock, made by a small team of artisans in Ducey, France.

Culture

An instant modern icon

The little trunk became one of Ghesquière's signatures at Louis Vuitton and has been reworked in countless materials and prints since its debut.
