Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Trunk Case – "Patches" Limited Edition
Damier Ebene / Red · Coated Canvas with Embroidered and Sequinned Patches · Gold-Tone Hardware
Production Year – circa 2018
Original Retail Price – ~USD 2,150–2,700 (estimated) / ~RM9,030–11,340
From Louis Vuitton's Patches limited edition, this compact trunk-form case is decorated with embroidered and sequinned appliqués — a red "Volez" script patch, a sequinned LV padlock and a Monogram roundel — applied across Damier Ebene canvas.
The red leather top handle and matching luggage tag give the piece an unusual colour contrast against the dark Damier, and the whole thing reads as a piece of decorated luggage rather than a handbag.

Why this piece
Patches was a limited edition and is long discontinued
Sequinned appliqués intact, which is where most examples fail
Red exterior trim is unusual for the Patches line
Trunk-form cases have their own dedicated collector base
Positioning
Sell it into the Louis Vuitton trunk and hardcase collector market rather than the general handbag market — those buyers pay for condition and for unusual configurations, and this is both.
Closing
Louis Vuitton's decorated editions rarely survive intact, because sequins and appliqués are the first things to go. A complete one is a genuinely different proposition from a worn one.
