Description
Model History:
Introduced at the Autumn/Winter 2019 Men’s show, under the artistic direction of Virgil Abloh, the Soft Trunk embodies the dialogue between tradition and modernity. Inspired by Louis Vuitton’s iconic trunks, it adopts a softened structure, suited to urban use. This model is in line with the company’s desire to reinterpret its archives by offering a lighter, more portable version of its historic pieces, while retaining the strong visual elements of Louis Vuitton’s heritage.
Exterior Details:
The bag is made of brown Monogram coated canvas, accented by natural cowhide leather trim at the corners and along the horizontal stripes. These bands, held in place by engraved Louis Vuitton gold rivets, evoke the traditional reinforcements of travel trunks. The bag closes with a gilded metal double-slider zipper, also embossed with the signature of Louis Vuitton. It has side rings for attaching an adjustable shoulder strap in matching smooth leather. The dimensions are suitable for everyday use, with sufficient capacity to carry essentials in complete safety.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with chocolate-colored canvas and features two patch pockets for simple yet functional organization. The branding “Louis Vuitton Paris, made in France” appears on a leather label sewn inside, accompanied by the exclusive catwalk mention: Défilé Homme Automne-Hiver 2019. The bag’s rigid structure guarantees a secure hold, even when empty.
Product Condition:
The bag is in excellent condition, with no tears or deformations. The natural leather has a natural patina, typical of untreated cowhide. The metal parts are shiny and free of oxidation. The interior is clean, spotless and odorless. The zip works perfectly.
Care instructions:
Monogram canvas is easy to care for with a soft damp cloth. Natural leather parts require more care: avoid water and prolonged contact with sunlight to limit premature oxidation. The bag should be kept in its cover when not in use, and stored flat to preserve its shape.
