Louis Vuitton World Cup Apollo Backpack World Cup Capsule Collection Epi Red
Offered exclusively at the JaneFinds + Christie's Handbags Online: Summer in the City Auction July 14 - 28
The Louis Vuitton 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Official Licensed Product Collection features the iconic Keepall and Apollo bags, and several small leather goods. The design draws on the hexagonal pattern of footballs and are recreated in the House’s iconic Epi leather. Another nod to the beautiful game? The House’s initials “L.V”, are placed like a team badge on the products.
Vuitton has long been involved with FIFA as the maker of the official case for the tournament's famous trophy, and for the 2018 World Cup the brand has launched a small collection of men's bags and small leather goods to commemorate the occasion. The pieces are all rendered in Epi leather, and they're all patchworked to look like soccer balls.
The term "hardware" refers to the metallic parts of the bag, such as the buckle hardware, base studs, lock and keys and/or strap, which are plated with a colored finish (e.g. gold, silver, palladium). The terms refer to the tone or color of the hardware and not the actual material used. If hardware is composed of precious solid metals this will be referenced in the description.
