So, the FIFA World Cup is in full swing. Which team are you backing?
My money is on Italia (always), but my Greek blood is secretly hoping that the Greeks will do something amazing!
This post isn’t about which team is going to win, but rather what an amazing piece of awesomeness the winning team is going to get to hold, besides the iconic Soccer World Cup trophy!
On the final day of the World Cup, which will be on the 13th July 2014, the captain of the winning team will receive a specially designed, Louis Vuitton case, custom made to carry the famous trophy.
This special order case is handmade in Louis Vuitton’s historic AsnieĢres workshop (near Paris), and has been meticulously designed to accommodate the celebrated Trophy.
The case measures 36 cm in height, weighs 6.175 kg and is made of solid 18-carat gold with a base of malachite.
It is covered in Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram canvas and is fitted with the company’s signature brass lock and corners.
The case opens from the front and at the top to allow the Trophy to be easily removed when it is delivered to the captain of the winning team.
