Arm candy of the week: Louis Vuitton’s exclusive side trunk PM handbag


You cannot expect the ordinary from Louis Vuitton. The marquee is known to experiment and churn new styles each season – especially since Nicolas Ghesquière has helmed its women’s department. And in his true quirky style, the fashion designer has introduced his latest work – the side trunk PM handbag.


A new twist on a classic Petite Malle, the arm candy boasts all the staple features of the traditional LV trunk. It is made from Monogram-debossed, calfskin leather and comes with a side S-lock and metallic corners. But what makes it versatile is its choice of handles


The bag features a wide top handle and a thin adjustable strap – both detachable. This means that it can be carried either as a sling, cross-body, a clutch, or even over the shoulder. The new iteration of the iconic Petite Malle was introduced by Ghesquière at the Cruise 2023 show.

It was also recently flaunted on the brand’s Instagram handle by Jennifer Connelly. Classic, versatile, and outright trendy, there are several reasons to like the new LV side trunk PM handbag. It is available in black and tan options and is available on the Louis Vuitton website.
