Louis Vuitton will present a custom-made trophy trunk at the Formula 1® Aramco Japanese Grand Prix 2026, held at the Suzuka Circuit from Friday, March 27th to Sunday, March 29th. Against the backdrop of Suzuka, a city where modernity and tradition merge, this is the highly anticipated third race of the season on this thrilling circuit. Now in its second year of an official partnership with Formula 1®, the Maison will once again make its creative presence felt on the circuit with a speed-filled presentation that enlivens this iconic race.
Located near the center of Japan, Suzuka is blessed with the great nature of the Suzuka Mountains and boasts a rich history and traditional crafts, alongside a culture of cutting-edge motorsports and manufacturing excellence. The Suzuka Circuit is known for its unique figure-8 layout, a rarity in racing, and this design, which includes an overpass and underpass, makes it one of the most challenging and exciting circuits in the world. This circuit, which captivates not only motorsport fans but all spectators, is a special place where numerous legendary races have been held. Louis Vuitton brings its legacy of excellence and innovation to this venue where 11 teams and 22 drivers will gather.
From the workshop to the paddock—Louis Vuitton and Formula 1® share a commitment to teamwork, a relentless pursuit of excellence, and a spirit of invention and innovation. This connection is also expressed in the custom-made trophy trunk, which is based on the iconic Monogram canvas and features a 'V' for 'Victory' and 'Vuitton.' This 'V' motif incorporates the white and red that symbolize Japan, as well as a black and white Damier pattern reminiscent of the finish line colors. These colors pay homage to Suzuka's rich heritage and its dynamic, contemporary spirit.
Louis Vuitton's custom-made trophy trunk for the Formula 1® Aramco Japanese Grand Prix 2026 was handcrafted by experienced artisans at the Maison's historic workshop in Asnières, a suburb of Paris. Asnières is also where Louis Vuitton's son, Georges Vuitton, led the creation of the first 'automobile trunk.' In the past, trunks were attached to the rear of vehicles and were susceptible to the elements, which led Georges to develop 'Vitonnit,' a durable canvas material to replace leather. This later evolved into the iconic Louis Vuitton canvas used to this day.
