The French luxury label, under the guidance of creative director Nicolas Ghesquière, has once again created a one-of-a-kind, custom-made trunk for the World Cup trophy to be transported in before it is awarded to the winning soccer team at the World Cup final to be held at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro on 13 July.

The case has all the iconic elements of Louis Vuitton's travel luggage, from the monogram canvas to the signature brass lock and corners.

It will be the second time the Louis Vuitton case has been used, following on from the 2010 finals in South Africa. Commissioned that year by Fifa, the case was handmade in the brand’s Asnières, France workshops and was custom-designed to fit the 36cm high, solid gold and malachite trophy.
