Louis Vuitton Pallas MM

A V shape in coloured leather runs across the front of the Pallas MM, a strong yet subtle signature formed by the leather panels meeting at a point. Cerise Red Monogram coated canvas and calf leather combine in the exterior, the red leather forming the V at the front, with natural cowhide trim and microfibre lining inside. Gold-colour hardware finishes the fittings. The coloured leather V is the visual centre of the bag, a geometric detail that distinguishes the front face from the patterned canvas of the sides and back. It measures 34 x 26 x 13 cm / 13.4 x 10.2 x 5.1 inches (Length x height x width), ideally sized to hold essentials, with a 13 cm depth that gives the interior real room.

A double zip closure runs across the top, two zips that open the main compartment wide and close it securely. Outside the main compartment, 2 outside compartments give external storage on the faces of the bag, accessible without opening the double zip, suited to items that need to be reached quickly. Inside, a large inside flat pocket provides a generous flat space against the lining, and a double flat pocket gives two flat spaces side by side for slim items kept apart. The combination of outside compartments and inside flat pockets means the bag can be organised by access: frequent items outside, secure and flat items inside, with the main compartment holding the bulk in between.

Four protective metal bottom studs lift the base off surfaces, protecting the leather and canvas and keeping the bag level when set down. Two single top handles, handle single x2, give hand carry, keeping the bag upright and the V-shaped front visible. A removable, adjustable strap adds over-the-shoulder wear, with a strap drop of 27.0 cm/10.6 inches and a strap drop max of 33.0 cm/13.0 inches, a range that allows the bag to hang higher or lower at the side. Removing the strap leaves the clean hand-carried form, with only the two handles and the V front visible.

Natural cowhide trim edges the panels and will darken with handling, while the cerise red leather of the V will keep its strong colour contrast against the Monogram canvas. Microfibre lining inside gives a soft, even finish. The reference is either made in France, Spain, Italy or in the US. Elegant and timeless in appeal, with a V-shaped leather signature, a double zip, outside compartments and inside flat pockets, the Pallas MM in cerise red and Monogram canvas is a bag sized for essentials and carried by hand or over the shoulder.
