Luggage trunks were the first items Louis Vuitton ever made for his brand-new business in Paris. As the variety of trunks for travel continued to grow, Louis Vuitton started manufacturing smaller bags and purses in the 1930s.

Taking inspiration from the brand's origin story Loius Vuitton designed trunks but for TROPHIES! And the FIFA trophy arrived in one such luxury designer LV trophy trunk. The FIFA World Cup trophy was unveiled by Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone and former Spanish football star Iker Casillas Fernández.

Louis Vuitton has created trunks specifically for the 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022 FIFA World Cups as part of its association with one of the biggest sporting events in the world. The 6.175 kilogrammes of 18-carat gold and malachite in the coveted trophy are carefully protected by the Trophy Trunk. This exquisite case maintains Louis Vuitton's 160-year link with legends, from monarchs, writers, and explorers to the most recognisable trophy in the world. It is a graceful and clever way to travel and show football's greatest trophy.
