Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunks

"Victory travels at Louis Vuitton: for more than three decades, the Maison has been synonymous with unparalleled athletic excellence, creating custom cases for some of the world's most recognizable trophies. Continuing Louis Vuitton's 160-year partnership with Legends of All Stripes - royalty and writers, explorers and actors - these cases house awards for the winners of iconic international sporting events. Louis Vuitton's heritage is a singular story of legendary achievement and skill, a legacy shared with the Masters of Sports - the sailors, the tennis and football stars, the heroes of rugby and the Basketball Hall of Famers - who, like Vuitton, have defined the art of memory-making. Handcrafted by experienced artisans, sometimes for over 400 man-hours or labour, in the Louis Vuitton workshop in Asnires, France, each trophy case is an exquisite testament to the art of craftsmanship and the uniqueness of the craftsmanship. is inspired by sport itself. For example, the trunks for the winners of the French Open feature a terracotta interior evoking the clay surface of Roland Garros, while on the front, a “V” reminiscent of the lines on a tennis court adds the finishing touch. Embracing the past while looking to the future remains a hallmark of each design – take the trunk of the bespoke trophy designed for the championship of League of Legends, the world’s most popular multiplayer video game. Combining traditional high-tech Savoir Faire and Ultra Modern high-tech elements, the unique trunk is accented with five ultra-powerful LEDs. Every time a Louis Vuitton trophy case is opened, it is an event that transcends space and time. Beyond the cheers of spectators filling the monolithic stadiums, the blindingly bright lights, the sweat, the tears, the smiles, in that moment of victory, the clock stops as the anticipation builds. Displayed on Louis Vuitton Epi leather or monogram canvas, Damier graphite or something completely one-of-a-kind, the silvers and golds of these coveted awards shine as they reveal the greatest athlete history has ever known. Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunks highlights the Maison as an integral part of the crowning of legends, from Rafael Nadal scoring his 10th French Open Extended title in 2017 to Team France’s triumphant defeat of Croatia at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Icons and leaders in their respective fields, Louis Vuitton and Victors unite in a common goal, the timeless celebration of challenge and competition, of sportsmanship and satisfaction.
