In a harmonious blend of luxury and athleticism, Louis Vuitton proudly announces its collaboration with tennis prodigy Carlos Alcaraz, House Ambassador and victor of the US Open in 2022 and Wimbledon in 2023. This exclusive partnership has given rise to a one-of-a-kind bespoke Malle Vestiaire, crafted to encapsulate the essence of Alcaraz’s remarkable career and achievements.

The Malle Vestiaire is a fresh entrant into Louis Vuitton’s expansive “wardrobe” realm. Taking cues from the distinctive shape of the Malle Sneakers, this trunk incorporates traditional hard-sided elements—think wooden slats, cotton straps, and malletage—revitalized with a contemporary twist. Harnessing the house’s unparalleled 170 years of trunk-making expertise, this trunk is wrapped in the iconic monogram canvas at the maison’s ateliers in France. The trunk, adorned with brass clasps, closures, and rivets, boasts a distinctive exterior logo inspired by Alcaraz’s awing tennis journey.

Inside the trunk, you’ll find a quilted interior ladened with drawers and shelves, dedicated to holding memorabilia from Alcaraz’s triumphs, including the Nike shirt and shoes from his 2023 Wimbledon victory, and one of his cherished Babolat rackets. The trunk also holds personal Louis Vuitton items gifted to Alcaraz, including a blue Speedy P9 Bag from Pharrell Williams and his preferred LV x Nike AF1s. Expressing his enthusiasm for the collaboration, Alcaraz shares, “Working on this Malle Vestiaire with Louis Vuitton’s artisans has been a great experience and a privilege. The finished trunk is filled with amazing memories for me, particularly those of winning my two Grand Slams.” 

This month, the Malle Vestiaire will be available in classic Monogram canvas with a beige microfiber interior, providing clients with the opportunity to own and personalize their unique version. Each trunk will be made-to-order, following the success of the previously launched Malle Vestiaire in Monogram Eclipse canvas and black interior in September 2023.
