The trunk bag has a distinctive silhouette in luxury handbags. Defined by rigid box construction and traditional trunk-making details like reinforced corners, rivets, and polished locking hardware, these bags bring the precision of historic luggage design into modern fashion.
A trunk handbag flaunts its rigid structure. Framed lids, riveted lines, and metal brackets that reinforce the edges create a dramatic, sculptural form. Elegant and distinctive, the architectural style has become a favorite among collectors. The silhouette feels both historic and distinctly modern, making the trunk purse one of the most striking shapes in luxury handbags.
Among the most celebrated names in designer trunk handbags are Goyard and Louis Vuitton, two historic French houses founded as master trunk makers. Their modern handbag designs continue to draw directly from the malletier heritage. They produce handbags with strong character, heritage craftsmanship, and bold design.

Goyard trunk bags feature the matellier's signature canvas Goyardine, a proprietary blend of hemp, cotton, and linen. Exceptionally strong and lightweight, the fabric receives multiple coatings, making it highly durable and water-resistant while imparting a subtle sheen. A colorful pointillist pattern forms a subtle series of interlocking “Y's” that create a trompe-l'œil effect. The Dé Trunk is a statement evening bag, while the Goyard Minaudière transitions from day to evening, serving as a shoulder bag or a sculptural clutch.
Wrapped in the iconic brown and gold LV Monogram canvas, a Louis Vuitton trunk bag purse like the Petite Malle is instantly recognizable. The interlocking LV initials with the flowers and stars are accented by gold-toned metal corner reinforcements and polished rivet heads. The Side Trunk features leather detailing and two removable shoulder straps.
Collectors prize the mini trunk bag for its sculptural form, heritage craftsmanship, and unmistakable presence.
