Ahead of the 2019 Rugby World Cup, Louis Vuitton is paying tribute to the sport the only way it knows how. The designer partnered with Dan Carter, a player for the New Zealand All Blacks, on a super limited-edition monogrammed rugby ball. The ball is made with rich black leather and decorated with the label’s ubiquitous monogram print in grey. Better yet, each one comes with a leather strap so you can wear it like a bag and be ready in case you ever wanna break into a rugby game, as well as a stand to display the piece in your home like sports decor. People love to frame jerseys and trophies and whatnot, so I reckon this is just taking it up a notch.
Only 112 of these designer rugby balls are said to be produced, so I can’t even imagine what the resale prices will be once they’re released in LV stores on September 20.
