The Suitcase That Goes the Extra Mile
A trunk suitcase is not just a large suitcase. It is a different way of thinking about how you travel with everything you need. The Lipault Trunk is designed for the longest adventures, the most extended stays and the trips where you genuinely need to pack for every occasion without compromise. At 79cm and 108 litres, it is the most spacious suitcase in our range, and it is built from the ground up to make that space feel organised rather than overwhelming.
Exterior Features Built for the Long Haul
Every detail of the Trunk's exterior is designed around the realities of long-distance travel. The XXL 108-litre capacity gives you room for extended trips without ever feeling like you are cramming. Three ergonomic handles, positioned at the top, side and base, make lifting and manoeuvring the Trunk through airports, hotel corridors and railway stations genuinely comfortable regardless of how fully it is packed. The suspension wheels roll smoothly and quietly on any surface, absorbing vibrations from uneven floors and cobblestones for a noticeably stable ride even when the Trunk is fully loaded. And the water-resistant zip closure keeps your belongings protected in the kind of wet conditions that busy airports and rainy departures regularly bring. A personalisation option makes it unmistakably yours.
Inside: a Portable Wardrobe
Open the Trunk and it reveals an interior designed to function as a portable wardrobe rather than just a large empty space. The main compartment features adjustable straps and retractable shelves that divide your clothing and belongings into clearly defined sections, making it easy to find anything without unpacking everything. A removable compression panel with zipped pockets keeps smaller items contained and accessible. The result is a suitcase that stays organised throughout the trip, not just when it is first packed. Whether you are unpacking into a hotel room or living out of the case during a longer stay, everything has its place and stays there.
Who Is the Trunk For?
The Lipault Trunk is designed for a specific kind of traveller. Those who take long-haul flights to destinations that demand a full wardrobe, from beach to formal and everything in between. Families who want one large suitcase to carry what four people need for two weeks. Professionals on extended assignments who need their work and leisure wardrobes to co-exist in one well-organised trunk. And anyone who has ever wished their large suitcase had more structure, more space and more thought put into how it actually works when it is packed and living in a hotel room. For shorter trips or lighter packing, our large suitcases range covers medium and long trip formats.
Complete Your Trunk with the Right Accessories
A suitcase of this size benefits from the right accessories. Our packing cubes work beautifully inside the Trunk's main compartment, helping you compartmentalise clothing, shoes and accessories even more precisely within the generous interior. Our suitcase covers include a format shaped for the Trunk, protecting it from scuffs and scratches in the hold. And for suits, dresses and formal wear that need to arrive in perfect condition, our garment bags keep your most important outfits hanging and crease-free throughout the journey.
FAQ
What is a trunk suitcase?
A trunk suitcase is a large-format wheeled suitcase designed for extended travel, offering significantly more capacity than a standard large suitcase and typically featuring a more organised, wardrobe-style interior layout. The term "trunk" refers to the generous, structured format that allows travellers to pack for longer stays, multiple occasions and warmer or colder climates without compromise. The Lipault Trunk at 79cm offers 108 litres of capacity, making it our largest and most feature-rich suitcase, designed for long-haul travel, family holidays and extended stays abroad.
What is the capacity of the Lipault Trunk?
The Lipault Trunk offers 108 litres of usable capacity at 79cm, making it the most spacious suitcase in our range. At this capacity, you can comfortably pack everything you need for an extended stay of several weeks, a family's full wardrobe for a long holiday, or a comprehensive selection of clothing for a trip that spans multiple climates and occasions. The wardrobe-style interior with retractable shelves and adjustable straps helps you use every available litre efficiently, keeping everything organised and accessible throughout the trip.
What are suspension wheels and why do they matter?
Suspension wheels absorb vibrations from uneven surfaces as you roll your suitcase, giving a noticeably smoother and quieter ride. On cobblestones, tile floors, uneven pavements and busy airport terminals, that difference is easy to feel, particularly when a large suitcase is fully loaded. The Trunk carries more than any other case in our range, so the combined weight of case and contents is considerable, and suspension wheels keep it comfortable to manoeuvre even when packed to capacity. It is the kind of feature you stop noticing precisely because it works.
How is the interior of the Lipault Trunk organised?
The Trunk's interior is designed to function as a portable wardrobe. The main compartment features adjustable straps that secure your clothing during transit and retractable shelves that divide the space into clearly defined sections. A removable compression panel with zipped pockets provides additional contained storage for smaller items, accessories and essentials that you want to keep separate from your main clothing. The overall layout makes it easy to find any item without unpacking everything, and to keep the suitcase organised throughout a longer stay rather than just when it is first packed.
Can I personalise the Lipault Trunk?
Yes. The Lost In Berlin Trunk 79cm is available with a personalisation option, allowing you to add your initials or a custom design to make it unmistakably yours. It also makes the Trunk a genuinely impressive and practical gift for a frequent traveller or anyone embarking on a significant journey. Personalisation is selected directly on the product page, and personalised items cannot be returned once the customisation has been applied.
What accessories work best with the Lipault Trunk?
A few well-chosen extras help you make the most of the Trunk's generous interior. Our packing cubes add another layer of compartmentalisation within the main space, keeping categories of clothing clearly separated. Our suitcase covers include a format shaped for the Trunk, protecting the exterior from scuffs and scratches throughout the journey. And our garment bags keep suits, dresses and formal wear hanging and crease-free, arriving in the same condition they were packed in.
Is the Lipault Trunk available in different colours?
Yes. The Trunk comes in a choice of understated colourways that reflect the confident aesthetic of the Lost In Berlin collection, designed to look as composed arriving at a long-haul destination as they did leaving home. Shades are refreshed over time, so the current selection is shown on the product page, where you can also add a personalisation if you would like to. If a particular colour appeals, it is worth ordering while it is in stock, as palettes change with the season.
