Sandra‘s Closet

On the occasion of the Louis Vuitton F/W 2026 Men’s Collection presentation, the House spotlighted a poignant element of its decade-long commitment to UNICEF: a Louis Vuitton Time Object in support of LOUIS VUITTON for UNICEF. This exceptional creation made an exclusive and striking appearance within the scenography, marking the start of a year of celebration and the renewal of Louis Vuitton’s sincere and united commitment to children.

Inspired by the iconic Monogram Canvas LV Soccer Ball – a legendary symbol of unity in sport – this unique time object transcends watchmaking codes to embody universal values of connection and solidarity. Crafted with extraordinary precision, it is driven by a manual-winding mechanical movement developed in collaboration with L’Epée 1839, bringing two golden rotating cylinders and diamond-studded facets together to illuminate time. Each component is meticulously hand-assembled and features an innovative skeletonized structure, showcasing exceptional savoir-faire.

To further elevate its allure, the time object is showcased in a specially designed trunk – inspired by iconic Trophy Trunk style – created for the occasion, highlighting its precious and unique nature. This horological masterpiece will be auctioned soon, and all proceeds will be donated to UNICEF, reinforcing the impact of this partnership in support of vulnerable children worldwide.

This initiative reaffirms Louis Vuitton’s commitment to combining creativity, innovation, and social responsibility, transforming the art of watchmaking into a powerful vehicle for solidarity.

LoL, Sandra

One year after the launch of its global partnership with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), LOUIS VUITTON launches its first #makeapromise day today on January 12th 2017 to raise funds for children in urgent need through its global network of stores.

Nearly 250 million children live in countries affected by conflict and millions more face risks from natural hazards and fast spreading epidemics. Every day, somewhere around the world, a child wakes up to a life filled with violence, persecution and hardship. Louis Vuitton renews its promise to bring hope for a better life to these children with the launch of #makeapromise day.

During this day, in 460 Louis Vuitton stores worldwide in more than 60 countries, 12,000 Louis Vuitton Client Advisors will act as special advocates of the “LOUIS VUITTON for UNICEF” partnership and promote the sales of the Silver Lockit: a product specially designed to raise funds for UNICEF.

Since January 2016, the Louis Vuitton for UNICEF partnership has helped raise $2.5m to help bring children life-saving humanitarian support in Syria and Nigeria. And in doing so, it has brought hope to children who have endured the horrors of war and deprivation. To illustrate how the contribution has made a difference, in 2016, four and a half million children and their families in Syria were protected through the lifesaving provision of water.

For each sale of the Silver Lockit pendant ($600) or bracelet ($500), $200 is donated to UNICEF.

On this occasion, Louis Vuitton renews its promise to help children and invites people all over the world to join the movement. Guests will be encouraged to come accompanied with someone close to make a pinky promise and to share their promise online with a special hashtag: #makeapromise. As a way of inviting people to spread the word, an exclusive offer will be made that day for those who purchase two Silver Lockits (offer available in all Louis Vuitton stores and on louisvuitton.com for January 12th 2017).

Shopping for a great cause! I like…
