Louis Vuitton has long been associated with the world’s most coveted trophies, and here we are today, alongside the Summoner’s Cup. We are thrilled to be part of such an iconic event,” said Louis Vuitton chairman and CEO Michael Burke.
In addition to the trophy case, Louis Vuitton's artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière has designed champion skins and other digital assets. A ready-to-wear capsule collection, which we're sure will be a hit, is also in the works.
