There is also a lot of discussion about the special trophy trunk that keeps the FIFA World Cup trophy before the final. This trunk has been prepared by French luxury brand Louis Vuitton. The trophy itself is made of 18 carat gold and malachite stone, while the trunk that keeps it safe is made in gold and brown monogram design. On its front is a hand-painted golden ‘V’, which is considered a symbol of both victory and Louis Vuitton.

Who designed this special trunk?

This trophy trunk has been prepared by Louis Vuitton for the FIFA World Cup 2026. This brand is the official partner and licensed manufacturer of FIFA. Even before this, the same company has made trophy trunks for the 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022 World Cups. This means that this is the fifth consecutive time that the brand has prepared a special trunk for the FIFA Trophy.

What is special in the design of the trunk?

The biggest identity of this trunk is its gold and brown monogram design, which is considered to be the special identity of Louis Vuitton. It has a golden hand carved ‘V’ on its front. This ‘V’ is considered the symbol of both Victory and Vuitton together. The trunk is hand-crafted by the company’s experienced craftsmen in Asnières-sur-Seine, near Paris, France. Its exterior is fitted with sturdy leather finishing, gold-plated metal corners, locks and clasps. The inner part is made of light beige leather, in which the logo of FIFA and the partnership of this brand is also given.

Is the trunk made of gold?

This trunk isn’t made just to look pretty. Its most important job is to keep the FIFA World Cup trophy completely safe. This trophy weighs approximately 6.175 kg and is made of malachite stone with 18 carat gold. The sturdy construction of the trunk keeps the trophy safe during traveling and events.

Whose limited edition collection will be launched?

Louis Vuitton has also decided to present a special limited edition collection inspired by the trophy trunk. It will include three different iconic trunks. A golden colored ‘V’ and hand-made artwork of the FIFA World Cup trophy will be seen on all of them. Although it is not possible to purchase the original trophy, fans can become a part of this special collection.
