The French fashion house is entering the second year of its official partnership with the Spanish club's soccer and basketball teams.
PARIS — When Real Madrid heads to Rome for its Champions League game against Roma on Wednesday, its players will be sporting a fresh travel kit.
Louis Vuitton has revamped the formalwear and travel creations for the men’s soccer team as it enters the second year of its partnership with the Spanish club, which also covers women’s soccer and men’s basketball.
Players including Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, Jude Bellingham and Federico Valverde wear a wardrobe designed by Pharrell Williams, creative director of menswear at Vuitton, for major travel and events.
The latest items in the line are inspired by the Trunk Edition men’s capsule collection launched last February, while leather goods nod to the 130th anniversary celebrations of the brand’s signature Monogram.
Additions to the travel wardrobe include a reversible nylon jacket with a Monogram lining, an embroidered Real Madrid crest at the front, and a personalized inside label bearing both the Real Madrid and Louis Vuitton signatures. A navy blue crew neck sweater, beige polo shirt, reversible belt and navy blue cap complement the look.
On the formalwear front, the traditional suit remains unchanged but can be updated with a choice between a new blue-and-white striped shirt, or the beige polo. A cashmere coat from the permanent Louis Vuitton collection, featuring a removable scarf in Monogram and the player’s initials inside, completes the formal ensemble.
While items from the collection won’t be available for purchase, clients can buy pieces like the Keepall and Horizon in store and personalize them via the Mon Monogram service, potentially adding the club’s colors or initials.
