About the Petite Malle Souple
Introduced in Nicolas Ghesquière's Fall 2014 collection — his debut as LV's Artistic Director for women's collections — the Petite Malle reinterprets the house's historic hard-sided trunk-making heritage in miniature, clutch-sized form.

- Offered in exotic skins including crocodile and lizard, which command significant premiums over standard canvas versions
- Comes in both a rigid trunk-shell construction and a softer 'Souple' version, with pricing and resale performance varying between them
