Luxurious fashion label Louis Vuitton is paying tribute to the FIFA World Cup and the beloved sport of soccer with a leather goods collection, consisting of duffels, backpacks, laptop sleeves, wallets, card holders and luggage tags.
The fashion brand is known for creating the premium casing for FIFA trophies, hence the move toward a soccer-inspired leather goods collection isn't all that shocking. The exclusive line targets a niche audience and will be available online for one month between the 15th of June and the 15th of July.
The leather goods collection is united through a recurring motif of a hexagon shape that is reminiscent of the exterior of soccer balls. For the design, Louis Vuitton drew inspiration from "the official match ball of the 1970 FIFA World Cup."
