Take a look at how fashion houses are fusing the sense of luxury into play
It appears that luxury brands are ready to play. Case in point: The rise of designer sports equipment. Many fashion houses have been expanding into the athleisure space to make a foray into sportscore. The reason, it might seem, is that the world has reconciled with the idea that an active lifestyle is the new aspirational lifestyle. That movement resulted in the industry’s renewed mission to offer a playful, lavish, and elevated wellness experience.

Louis Vuitton Christopher Jump Rope
Louis Vuitton is in the pursuit of taking daily workouts to a luxurious turn with the release of the Christopher Jump Rope. In its interpretation, the maison crafts the handles with its signature epi leather and monogram canvas that adds a touch of elegance to the design. Standout detail? The innovative feature that allows for the length of the rope to be adjusted.
Hermès Helios Mahjong Set
Hermès brings its timeless sense of style with an elevated take on a tile-based game. True to the maison’s classic color scheme, the Helios Mahjong Set features orange-brown leather tiles. Each piece are made of palissander wood with printed swift calfskin. To complete the design, the fashion house adorned the set with handcrafted details.
Versace Boxing Gloves
Versace has produced a set of boxing gloves like no other. Made from lamb leather, the gloves are cladded all over in an opulent gold flower print on a black background. A hook and loop closure is added to complete the final touches. To say the least, the fashion house has found a way to make every jab an expensive experience.
Tiffany & Co. Basketball
Tiffany & Co. and Daniel Arsham’s collaboration generated one of the most coveted luxury equipment to date. The special-edition basketball features the duo’s co-branding logo and double monogram panels. Apart from that, the design arrived in a blue and black colorway that makes a beautiful addition to any lifestyle accessory collection.
Prada Yoga Mat
Prada is taking the entire yoga experience to new heights with its interpretation of a mat. A rendering of the brand’s signature enameled triangle logo is inlaid throughout the design. Branding is easily spotted with the logo stamped at the bottom-end of the mat. Elsewhere, a detachable adjustable woven nylon shoulder strap becomes a notable feature.
