Louis Vuitton – Making of the FIFA World Cup Trophy Case

As the 2010 FIFA World Cup has ended, the golden trophy is also traveling home with the Spain national team. While everyone else may be carrying duffel bags and Samsonite trolleys, the World Cup trophy only travels in incomparable luxurious style. While Louis Vuitton perhaps best loved by the ladies for their leather goods and the extremely popular Speedy bag, the luxury house’s best craft comes from their heritage customization cases, made to order to hold everything imaginable from mahjong tiles to medical scapels. This year, Louis Vuitton celebrates the 2010 FIFA World Cup in its own style, first with a wonderful campaign, Louis Vuitton Legends, featuring soccer legends Pele, Zidane and Maradona, and now, it has been commissioned to build a special traveling case to safeguard the prized 2010 FIFA World Cup trophy.
This special order travel case, like all other Louis Vuitton special customization orders, was was handmade at the company’s original workshop in Asnières.
