Today we’re showcasing a once wildly popular bag from a few years ago — the Louis Vuitton M57835 PAPILLON TRUNK bag. The PAPILLON TRUNK was extremely popular at its peak; we once produced 500 units in a single batch. Now, that number has decreased to 100 per batch, and the sales cycle has also lengthened. We’re being honest — the world of handbags changes rapidly, with new trendy styles emerging constantly. At Shebag, we keep pace with the trends and launch new models as soon as they hit the market.

That said, many customers still choose to purchase classic styles — because classics are always a safe bet. You never have to worry about getting it wrong with a timeless piece.

The PAPILLON TRUNK features a substantial amount of hardware and a very structured silhouette, which makes it relatively challenging to replicate. Similar to the Side Trunk, the hardware costs are high. We use high-hardness solid steel fittings, which require expensive molds and more time for polishing and finishing.

As always, our photos are more detailed than those of the original bags — because we aim to showcase Shebag’s craftsmanship and replication expertise.
