Louis Vuitton crowns football excellence with bespoke Ballon d'Or trophy trunks for Harry Kane and Alexia Putellas

Louis Vuitton continues its storied association with elite international sports, celebrating the crowning moments of football icons Harry Kane and Alexia Putellas as they claim the 2026 Ballon d'Or honours. Upholding the Maison's legacy of crafting bespoke trunks for the world's most coveted sporting prizes, the French luxury house has once again designed the ceremonial travel cases that house the golden spheres, honoring individual athletic transcendence through Parisian artisanal savoir-faire.

Handcrafted in the historic workshops of Asnières-sur-Seine, each trophy trunk represents a marriage of heritage and athletic triumph. The exterior is wrapped in the signature Monogram canvas, accented by brass corner protectors, clasps, and locks that have defined Louis Vuitton travel since 1854.

Inside, the case opens to reveal a customized, plush interior designed to secure the iconic sculptural sphere, punctuated by subtle painted chevron detailing that nods to the golden radiance of the award. Through this bespoke commission, Louis Vuitton reinforces its timeless ethos that victory indeed travels in style.

By sheltering football's highest personal distinctions for both Kane and Putellas, the Maison bridges supreme pitch-level artistry with century-old trunkmaking mastery, forever linking the pinnacle of sport with quintessential French luxury.
