It just seems that the collaboration between football and fashion have no bounds.  We’ve written about how football impacts fashion design on and off the pitch with articles featuring the works of fashion designers Dirk Bikkembergs and Stephen Wong.  In another illustration of how football serves as creative inspiration for fashion designers, we bring you the work of famed fashion house Louis Vuitton.

For the fashion inclined football fan, LVHM has the ultimate travel accessory for you, soccer inspired ravel bags.  These LV monogrammed bags were featured in the French fashion house’s Fall/ Winter 2009/2010 Collection.   Fancy names aside, these bags provide a creative twist to an old theme with their hexagonal leather pieces and soccer ball stitching.

Whether an ode to the Beautiful Game or a shrewd marketing move, these bags are sure to please many affluent football fashionistas.
