The Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup was presented at the 2025 Australian Open Women's Final in its Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunk on January 25th. Hand-crafted by Louis Vuitton artisans in their historic Asnières ateliers, the trunk has protected and transported the trophy since the tournament's start.
House Ambassador Dan Carter, wearing a black single-breasted silk and wool blend Damoflage jacket with matching drawstring pants, presented the trophy alongside tennis legend Evonne Goolagong Cawley. His ensemble included a white cotton pique Damier t-shirt, white LV Trainer sneakers, and a Tambour Automatic 40mm watch.
The trunk's presence at the Australian Open Women's Final represents a continuation of Louis Vuitton's legacy in crafting bespoke trophy vessels. The French maison's historic Asnières atelier, which has been crafting such pieces since the house's founding, maintains this tradition of excellence in both craftsmanship and presentation at one of tennis's most prestigious events.
