Louis Vuitton has been synonymous with athletic excellence for over 30 years, creating custom cases for some of the most recognizable trophies in the world. The Maison has a 160-year association with legends of all stripes, including royalty, writers, explorers, and actors. These trophy cases house awards for the winners of ultimate iconic international sporting events, and every case is handmade by experienced artisans in Louis Vuitton’s atelier in Asnières, France, drawing inspiration from the sport itself. The trunks for the winners of the French Open, for example, feature a terracotta interior evoking the clay surface of Roland Garros, while the front is adorned with a “V” reminiscent of the lines on a tennis court.Combining traditional savoir faire and ultra-modern high-tech elements, the bespoke trophy trunk designed for the championship of League of Legends, the world’s most popular multiplayer video game, is a testament to Louis Vuitton’s commitment to embracing the past while looking towards the future. The unique trunk is accented with five ultra-powerful LEDs.The silvers and golds of these coveted prizes sparkle as they are revealed to the finest athletes history has ever known, showcased in Louis Vuitton Epi leather or Monogram Canvas, Damier Graphite, or something completely one-of-a-kind. Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunks celebrates the Maison’s integral part in crowning legends, from Rafael Nadal's record-extending tenth French Open title to team France’s triumphant defeat of Croatia at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
