Louis Vuitton And The FIFA World Cup 2010 Trophy

My hope to swap my 428 flight to Joburg-Cape Town seems a wild goose chase. The World Cup is starting in one week and nobody wants to exchange flights! Of course! Times like this, flights to South Africa will be a gem to giveaway right? 

Oh well what to do?

Aside from Ronaldo, Kaka and Beckham, something to look forward is the trophy of the much anticipated game. A golden metal needs the best case for keeps right? So when FIFA needed a trophy case, who else would they turn to, but Louis Vuitton?

A one-of-a-kind carrying case hand-made in the Louis Vuitton atelier in France, the case is measured to the exact specifications of the FIFA World Cup Trophy. The case is decorated with the Louis V monogram and features room to hold the gloves required by the Cup’s handlers.

In 1970, the Brazilians became the first nation to win three World Cups, and were awarded the Jules Rimet Trophy in perpetuity as the late Rimet had stipulated after the first World Cup tournament in 1930. The cup was later stolen, and never recovered. Today, decoy trophies and heavy security are used rigorously to deter thieves, but this case is kind of a dead giveaway, isn’t it?

I LVoe!
