Countries all over the world will be tuning in to World Cup this year to see who will be taking home the coveted Championship Trophy and making their country proud.
The 2010 FIFA World Cup trophy measures 36 cm in height, weighs 6.175 kg and is made of solid 18-carat gold with a base of semi-precious malachite.
The World Cup takes place in South Africa on June 11th this year and it is only fitting that Louis Vuitton has been commissioned to make the case that will house the championship trophy. Handmade by a singular craftsman in Asnières near Paris. The case is covered in Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram canvas, fitted with the company’s signature brass lock and corners, and has a dark brown lining that complements the Trophy’s rich gold. Very Cool.
