Design and construction
Side Trunk bags feature a rectangular shape with rounded edges, reminiscent of traditional travel trunks. The exterior typically showcases Louis Vuitton’s signature monogram canvas or textured leather in various colors such as black, washed gray, or blue tones. Metal hardware, often in gold or silver tones, adds functional and decorative elements like zipper pulls and logo accents.
The bags are constructed with attention to durability and style. The canvas and leather materials provide resistance to wear, while stitching reinforces the structural integrity. Inside, the bags commonly include a single compartment with a fabric lining, sometimes accompanied by small pockets for organization.

The Side Trunk collection offers different sizes tailored to various needs, mainly the PM (Petit Modèle) and MM (Moyen Modèle) versions. The PM size is more compact, suitable for carrying essentials, while the MM size provides additional space without sacrificing portability.
