Catalogued June 2026

The Petite Malle, French for "small trunk," is Louis Vuitton's miniature hard-trunk bag, introduced in 2014 by Nicolas Ghesquiere for his debut collection at the house. It is a rigid, boxy clutch modeled on LV's historic luggage trunks, complete with the S-lock clasp and trunk-style corners, carried on a removable leather-and-chain strap. Most often in Monogram or Epi leather, it translates the house's travel heritage into an evening bag.
