Why Louis Vuitton's Side Trunk PM Our Favourite Bag in Focus
Here's why this bag is our favourite and should be yours too...
Louis Vuitton's Side Trunk PM
On the occasion of Manifest’s first anniversary, it is only fitting to elect a Louis Vuitton piece as a trousseau recommendation. What makes this Side Trunk special, aside from the beautiful shape, is that it is part of LV’s glorious milestone line-up. As the Maison celebrates 130 years of its legendary Monogram, Louis Vuitton has released three exclusive capsule collections—Monogram Origine, VVN, and Time Trunk—marking a bold new chapter for the emblem. Each capsule serves as a dialogue between heritage and invention, with classics reimagined through a contemporary lens. The Side Trunk MM, part of the Monogram Origine collection, features a new coated canvas, which is softer, more natural touch. And it reimagines the iconic Monogram through colour, savoir-faire, and innovation. Details like the signature address tag, accented with a gold-toned padlock and trunk-inspired corners, serve as a reminder of the spirit of travel, with a distinctly vintage soul, while the Monogram Origine Rose Ruban hue makes it the perfect addition to a bride’s trousseau.
In many ways, the Side Trunk MM encapsulates the very essence of what makes Louis Vuitton enduringly relevant—its ability to honour the past while speaking fluently to the present. Inspired by the Maison’s historic travel trunks, the bag carries forward that same spirit of exploration and craftsmanship, now distilled into a silhouette that feels both structured and effortlessly modern. The reinforced corners, polished hardware, and meticulous finishing echo the architectural precision of Vuitton’s heritage luggage, reminding us that every design detail is rooted in over a century of artisanal excellence.

What makes this particular piece especially meaningful for a bridal trousseau is its sense of permanence. Much like the heirlooms brides carry with them into a new chapter of life, the Side Trunk MM is designed to transcend seasons and trends. The delicate Rose Ruban shade lends it a romantic softness, while the classic Monogram ensures it remains unmistakably Louis Vuitton. Together, they create a harmonious balance between femininity and legacy.
Beyond aesthetics, the bag also represents the idea of journeys—both literal and symbolic. From honeymoon travels to milestone celebrations in the years to come, it becomes more than just an accessory; it becomes a companion to memories. In that sense, the Side Trunk MM feels perfectly aligned with the spirit of a trousseau: timeless, meaningful, and destined to be cherished long after the wedding festivities have faded.
