The Monaco Grand Prix Trophy Trunk Returns for 2026

One of the most anticipated traditions of race weekend is the presentation of the bespoke Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunk, which returns for a sixth consecutive year.

Designed to protect and showcase the Monaco Grand Prix trophy, the handcrafted trunk is dressed in the House’s iconic Monogram canvas, reimagined in a striking red hue inspired by Monaco’s national colours. The design is completed with the emblematic “V” motif, representing both Victory and Vuitton, in white and red.

The Trophy Trunk has accompanied some of Formula 1’s most memorable victories in recent years, including those of Max Verstappen, Sergio Pérez, Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris. More than a symbol of triumph, it represents over 170 years of Louis Vuitton craftsmanship and savoir-faire, reinforcing the House’s enduring philosophy that “Victory Travels in Louis Vuitton.”
