The Petite Malle Trunk was revolutionary because it was inspired by the Classic Trunk. But what if we tell you that it’s possible to downsized it to a miniature size? So here, meet the Louis Vuitton Essential Trunk Bag for the Spring Summer 2018 Collection – the key details are replicated from the historic trunk, stunning right?

Louis Vuitton Petite Malle Bag overview

The Design

Forget about the WOCs and other clutches; just keep your eyes on the Essential Trunk. Owning this historical piece in your wardrobe will enrich your fashion life as you will be carrying one of LV’s essential pieces.

This object is the exact copy like the Petite Malle, only it’s much smaller in size. The body is made with Monogram Canvas but with Trunk detailing on the edges. The most beautiful part must be the iconic S-lock in the center, and it’s crafted in aged gold hardware to make it look more vintage.

What’s more? It comes with a chain strap for shoulder carry, but that can be easily detached. The Essential Trunk can be used in multiple ways; for example as a mini shoulder bag, as a clutch bag or it can accessorize a larger bag.

Let’s compare the sizes of the Essential Trunk and the Petite Malle Trunk Bag:

The Louis Vuitton Essential Trunk measures 3’ x 4.1’ x 1.6’ inches. The Petite Malle Trunk measures 7.9’ x 4.7’ x 2.2’ inches. So the Essential Trunk is smaller in every way and especially in the length.

The Interior

The inside is quite simple. It comes with one main compartment for all your stuff and there is one inside flat pocket.
