SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Spurs fans will have to really dig deep into their pockets if they want to get a hold of the latest Louis Vuitton bag charm, which features a nod to Victor Wembanyama’s moniker as an alien.
For a whopping $960, you can own an alien face bag charm from the fashion house and show your support for the Spurs big man.
The bag charm is silver and black (a nod to the Spurs’ colors) and features a smiling alien imprinted on it.
“[T]he LV Alien Bag Charm is a joyful piece that honors the show’s key inspiration of exploration. The extraterrestrial accessory is covered in an allover Monogram pattern and can also hold a pair of wireless earphones,” according to Louis Vuitton.
In case you didn’t know, Wemby is a brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton and wears the high-end clothes ahead of games and wore the company’s suit when San Antonio drafted him.
Also, a billboard popped up in San Antonio celebrating the Wemby and Louis Vuitton partnership.
“Striving for excellence and with a perpetual honing of craft, Victor joins Louis Vuitton on a journey of shared values and aligned ambitions,” the fashion company said in a release. “Like Louis Vuitton himself, the young athlete has blazed a trail, excelling in a career that is only just beginning.”
GQ Sports said the two sides began talks when Wemby was still in France playing with the Metropolitans 92.
“To me, it’s the best,” Wembanyama told GQ Sports. “It’s the best partner I can think of. I wanted a meaningful partnership. To me it made a lot of sense to partner with LV—you know, French excellence. The expertise is something that I feel very much attracted to.”
“[Fans] can expect me to wear nice and beautiful clothes, which has been, before in my life, a struggle but is now possible with LV,” he said to GQ Sports.
You can now pre-order the Wemby-inspired alien bag charm to show off at your next Spurs game, but due to high demand, it will take seven weeks to ship.
