Celebrated with a bespoke Louis Vuitton trophy trunk, this historic win marks a new milestone for both Charles Leclerc and the iconic race
In a momentous victory, Charles Leclerc clinched his first-ever win at the prestigious 81st Grand Prix de Monaco, held on Sunday, 26th May 2024. This triumph was celebrated with the presentation of the coveted trophy housed in a bespoke Louis Vuitton trunk, marking the fourth consecutive year of the partnership between the Automobile Club de Monaco and Louis Vuitton.
Created at Louis Vuitton’s historic atelier in Asnières, the custom trunk highlights the Maison’s traditional savoir-faire and references key elements of race, which heralds its 81st edition this year. Decorated in the red colour of the Monaco flag, the trunk features the monogram with red lines forming a “V” for “Victory,” accented by a white band that evokes the 19 curves of the 3.337 km-long urban circuit.
