Hand-crafted in Louis Vuitton’s workshops in Asnières, France, the case will hold the ionic trophy when it’s revealed at the Opening and Final Match of the event.

Louis Vuitton has also teamed up with FIFA and Adidas to create a limited-edition FIFA World Cup Official Match Ball Collection Trunk, pegged to become a collector’s item. The trunk opens to reveal a collection of 13 reeditions of the Official Match Balls used at FIFA World CupTM tournaments since 1970, all fabricated especially for this project by Adidas, with an additional football, designed by Louis Vuitton includedinside.

The Louis Vuitton 2018 FIFA World Cup RussiaOfficial Licensed Product Collection features exclusive versions of Keepall and Apollo bags, alongside a selection of smaller leather pieces, made with an innovatively embossed version of the House’s classic Epi leather. The collection includes playful designs and a specially designed Louis Vuitton FIFA World Cup logo, while the initials “L.V” are placed like a team badge.
