Tennis Champion’s Memorabilia Finds Home in Bespoke Malle Vestiaire
Louis Vuitton’s collaboration with tennis prodigy Carlos Alcaraz marks a fusion of athleticism and high-end fashion, introducing a bespoke creation beyond a mere trunk—it’s a treasure trove of memories and style.
The Malle Vestiaire, meticulously designed to accommodate Alcaraz’s prized memorabilia and equipment, draws upon Louis Vuitton’s 170-year expertise in trunk-making. Constructed with carefully selected wood and enveloped in the iconic Monogram canvas, the trunk carries a unique logo inspired by Alcaraz’s illustrious career, portraying a narrative of victories and passion through hand-painted strokes.
Inside, luxury meets functionality with five microfiber-lined drawers, complemented by natural cowhide handles, reminiscent of the historic Secrétaire Linge trunks. The compartments hold relics like the Nike shirt and shoes worn by Alcaraz during his Wimbledon triumph, alongside his trusted Babolat racket.
However, the trunk isn’t limited to Alcaraz’s tennis gear. It’s a curated collection of his favorite Louis Vuitton possessions—a chic blue Louis Vuitton Speedy P9 Bag gifted by Louis Vuitton Men’s Creative Director Pharrell Williams, LV x Nike AF1s, and an array of Louis Vuitton accessories. From tennis balls to Horizon Light Up earphones, a portable LV Nanogram speaker, a Dopp Kit toiletry bag, and a Nice Mini vanity case, it’s a convergence of sport, music, and luxury travel. Moreover, the trunk includes Louis Vuitton City Guides for New York and London, adding a touch of cosmopolitan allure.
Describing the collaboration as a “great experience and a privilege,” Alcaraz views the trunk not as a mere container but as a capsule encapsulating his significant moments and unique style. The Malle Vestiaire will be available for personalization in the iconic Monogram canvas with a beige microfiber interior, echoing Louis Vuitton’s signature craftsmanship and design.
