The ‘Tonneau’ bag is a leather goods classic, and an iconic piece that captivates with its elongated, cylindrical shape. Its design is both chic and practical, making it a coveted accessory for fashion lovers and leading luxury brands.
Its origins, and first and foremost its shape, are inspired by barrels, as its name suggests, but also for transporting plumbers’ tools. This tubular silhouette was adopted by leather goods manufacturers in the early twentieth century, in particular to create functional travel bags. One of the most famous models is the LV, launched in the 1930s, which has become a staple of the house, but in reality it is older than that.
Guillaume Larquemain is a designer trained at the École Boule in Paris, a true benchmark in art and design. His expertise is set in stone. In 2022, he created his own brand, and with his experience in artistic direction and scenography, he developed a universe marked by innovation and French know-how. With his Mini Duffle bag, he is creating a buzz, and we’re not surprised, because the second path to luxury is gradually opening up, and that’s all to the good.
