From the workshop to the racetrack, Louis Vuitton and Formula 1® share a commitment to teamwork, a constant quest for excellence, and a spirit of invention and innovation. This connection is further embodied in the bespoke Trophy Trunk, covered by the emblematic Monogram of the House and adorned with an iconic “V” – both for “Victory” and “Vuitton” – which reflects Miami’s tropical pink and blue Art Deco signature colors, along with the iconic black and white Damier recalling the famous finish line.

Fitting with the tradition of all custom Louis Vuitton pieces, the Trophy Trunk for the FORMULA 1® CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX 2026 is handmade at the House's historic atelier in Asnières, France. This workshop is where the first automotive trunks were designed under Georges Vuitton, the son of Louis Vuitton, in 1897. Over the following 125 years, Louis Vuitton has remained closely associated with automotive culture. When Georges foresaw the growing popularity of cars and travel, he created a durable canvas material called “Vuittonite” to substitute for leather, which ensured the trunks could withstand the elements. This invention would evolve into today’s iconic Louis Vuitton canvas.

The origins of this partnership lie in the House’s ongoing collaboration with the Automobile Club de Monaco™, shaped by the creation and presentation of the Formula 1® Grand Prix de Monaco™ Trophy Trunk between 2021 and 2024— forging a deep bond with Formula 1®. As Formula 1® now brings together a global audience of hundreds of millions of fans, Louis Vuitton remains at the very heart of the Championship’s most emblematic moments, ensuring that each victory forms an integral part of House tradition and savoir-faire. This collaboration stands as the ultimate expression of “Victory travels in Louis Vuitton.”
