The World Cup is Here, and So is Louis Vuitton’s World Cup Capsule Collection

You most likely could have guessed the theme with no us telling you, although

Luxury goods and group sports normally only interact in a single way: star athletes employing their considerable wealth to obtain cool stuff and flex it on Instagram. With sports that double as leisure activities of the wealthy—golf, tennis and yachting, mostly—luxury brands normally dabble in direct sponsorships, but globally well known group sports have a tendency to be reserved for sports-centric, mass-industry organizations like Nike or Adidas. The Planet Cup is a tournament as opposed to any other, although, which indicates every person desires a piece of the pie, like Louis Vuitton.

Vuitton has lengthy been involved with FIFA as the maker of the official case for the tournament’s renowned trophy, and for the 2018 Planet Cup, which started Thursday in Russia, the brand has launched a compact collection of men’s bags and compact leather goods to commemorate the occasion. The pieces are all rendered in Epi leather, and they are all patchworked to appear like soccer balls. But you currently knew that, since you can see the photographs.

When the collection is technically for males (and the wallets are in the structures frequently preferred by males), the backpack and Keepall are travel bags that do not need to have to be gendered for any unique purpose, and international soccer fandom (as effectively as interest in luxury leather goods) absolutely is not restricted to males. Like you may well count on, most of the pieces are sold out on-line and should be sourced via your regional boutique, but my favorite—and the least expensive—part of the collection nevertheless has some availability: the luggage tag, which comes the colors of more than a dozen nations, featuring the flag on the tag’s rear side. Verify out all the pieces under.
