Louis Vuitton FIFA World Cup Trophy 2010 Travel Case

Photobucket

I'm not sure why I'm posting this right now. I'm not one for luxury brands (aside from Burberry), and I could give two sh*ts about the World Cup Trophy, (not like I'll be holding it) aside from that it's the World Cup Trophy. Yet and still something urged me to want to put this up. Louis V was commissioned by FIFA to create a one of a kind carrying case for the 2010 World Cup trophy. The case was handmade in Louis' historic Asnières workshop near Paris, by a single master craftsman. Also, the case has been fitted with the company’s signature brass lock and corners, and a dark brown lining. Last but not least, it sports the traditional monogram Louis Vuitton print that has become synonymous with over-consuming rappers and Canal Street vendors. I think that's why I posted it. It's a huge nose-thumbing to people who rock out with too much Louis. This bad boy is a one-for-one, meaning it's the only of its kind. Your belt or coin purse, that you conspicuously wear, and blew a paycheck or two on, is worth peppercorns compared to this case. Guess it's just food for thought. Check out some more flicktures of the case in design & construction, and get ready for the World Cup, which starts next week!!!
