X marks the spot. The 21st-century treasure chest might be tiny, but the Petite Malle comes packed with Louis Vuitton craftsmanship. Shaped like a mini-trunk, the Petite Malle pays homage to Louis Vuitton’s heritage and one of the maison’s loyal customers – Albert Khan. The wealthy banker ordered several trunks in which he could transport his photography equipment and personal belongings. Each of Khan’s bespoke trunks was marked with three white crosses, which also feature on this piece. There’s no doubt that the Petite Malle is definitely not just another ‘It’ bag, but a prized possession for generations to come.

The Petite Malle is $7,050 and is available at all Louis Vuitton boutiques. See www.louisvuitton.com
