Signature Petite Trunk – Monogram & Black Leather | BagLadt

The Signature Petite Trunk is not just a handbag; it is a wearable archive. Capturing the romance of the golden age of travel, it shrinks the majestic steamer trunk down to petite proportions. This “Heritage” edition is particularly special, featuring distinctive red cross markings that evoke the personalized luggage of the early 20th-century elite.

Design & Craftsmanship

Rigid Architecture:
Unlike soft leather bags, this piece maintains a rigid, boxy silhouette constructed from wood and leather, exactly like its larger ancestors. The body is wrapped in the iconic Monogram coated canvas, framed by deep black smooth calfskin leather trim. The corners are reinforced with riveted brackets, ensuring the bag remains pristine even with daily wear.

The Iconic S-Lock:
The centerpiece is the polished gold-tone S-lock clasp. Originally designed to secure travel trunks against the rigors of the road, it has been re-engineered here for ease of access. It opens to reveal a luxurious interior lined with sheepskin in a “Malletage” pattern—a crisscross design inspired by the padded lining of vintage trunks.

Modern Versatility:
While rooted in history, the functionality is entirely modern. The removable and adjustable leather strap allows the trunk to be worn crossbody for a casual, edgy look. Remove the strap, and it becomes the ultimate evening clutch—a conversation starter that signals a deep appreciation for luxury heritage.
