LV NOW

With over 150 years of history, Louis Vuitton trunks, secular emblems of the House, are synonymous with travel, adventure, exploration, secrets and treasures. For his very first women’s collection, Nicolas Ghesquière specifically designed miniature trunks to wear as a minaudière bag and as a refined 18 carat yellow gold pendant as seen here.

This precious talisman will now dress women’s neckline in the form of three different trunks to choose from: a cubic trunk in Epi gold, an opened trunk with compartments and a rectangular trunk in sandy gold.

The exact design of the historical Louis Vuitton trunk is recreated with thorough craftsmanship: corner pieces, delicate padding, handles, saddles, “LV“ initials engraved, nails, Epi leather effect, and a gold bar in the back engraved with hallmark, gold weight and composition. Last but not least, a “lock hole” chain carries each pendant.

While Louis Vuitton offers a wide range of business bags in iconic Damier and Monogram canvases, there is also an understated collection made of Taïga and Epi leather, soberly embossed with an “LV” signature. The Porte-documents in these leathers are made to perfectly suit the refined businessman.

A window into his impressions, his illustrations leave us contemplative.
