Louis Vuitton Scores Big with Rugby Legend Dan Carter’s Bespoke Trunk
by Adriano B.
In the spirit of the Rugby World Cup taking center stage in Paris, Louis Vuitton steps onto the field with its first-ever collaboration trunk alongside rugby legend Dan Carter.
Carter, the rugby icon and Maison ambassador, has teamed up closely with the artisans at Louis Vuitton’s legendary workshops to craft this one-of-a-kind, tailor-made trunk. It’s not your ordinary luggage; it’s a bespoke creation designed to cradle the sports gear and cherished mementos of this sporting icon.
This new trunk is a testament to Louis Vuitton’s nearly 160 years of savoir-faire in the art of luggage making. Crafted from top-tier wood and adorned with the iconic Monogram Eclipse in black and silver, it features metal clasps, closures, and rivets reminiscent of historical trunks. The Monogram Eclipse exterior, reminiscent of the New Zealand rugby team’s colors, is adorned with distinct logos and specific Dan Carter numbers, such as DC10 (a nod to his jersey number) and 1598 (the number of points he scored in international rugby matches).
Inside the trunk, lined with a combination of microfiber and sportswear-inspired fabric, lies a treasure trove of Dan Carter’s illustrious career memorabilia: three Rugby Player of the Year awards, three Rugby World Cup medals, two 100-match commemorative caps, three jerseys from Rugby World Cups, a pair of his “retirement” boots alongside a pair worn during a World Cup, copies of his book “The Art of Winning,” and the Louis Vuitton rugby ball co-created with the Maison in 2019.
“In light of the Rugby World Cup 2023 in France, we wanted to create something truly special,” says Carter. “This trunk houses all the objects that symbolize the incredible memories I hold from my time playing professional rugby, while paying homage to Louis Vuitton’s renowned Art of Travel. I can’t think of a better way to showcase them than in this beautiful trunk.”
