Ronaldinho and GYL: when sport meets French luggage

Ronaldinho à Paris avec sa sélection de valises GYL, dont la Trunk, avant le Ballon d’Or 2025

Paris, September 22, 2025 : As the city lights up for the Ballon d'Or, Ronaldinho returns to the Théâtre du Châtelet twenty years after his victory. His style hasn't changed: still this blend of simplicity, elegance, and infectious joy. For this trip, he chose a GYL suitcase , and more specifically the Trunk , a piece whose allure and robustness alone speak volumes about the art of French travel.

Ronaldinho, the legend who travels light... but with character

We know the virtuoso, his dribbling, his smile and his way of making every move obvious. Seeing him arrive in Paris is like rediscovering a part of our football memory, with the same quiet elegance. His choice of suitcase is not a detail: when events are on a roll, we look for reliability and comfort. The Trunk ticks these boxes without ostentation, with a sober presence that accompanies the silhouette, without stealing it. It is a discreet companion, cut out for special occasions as much as for ordinary journeys.

Why GYL? Expertise, reliability and a reassuring guarantee

Since 1976, GYL has championed a simple vision: sturdy, beautiful, and practical luggage designed to last. Sleek hard shells, smooth-running wheels, and an integrated TSA lock ensure you'll travel with peace of mind. Above all, the brand offers a worldwide lifetime warranty , with replaceable parts and fast shipping—a real safety net when you're living between planes and hotels (ref. warranty and repair policy: ). This long-term promise says something important to travelers: you don't change your suitcase every season; you stick to a reliable piece.

The Trunk, chosen by Ronaldinho: the trunk spirit reinvented

The Trunk borrows its look from the large trunks of yesteryear: vertical silhouette, bold grooves, generous capacity. Beyond style, it relies on rigid polycarbonate that really protects, 360° double wheels that glide effortlessly, and an interior organization designed to keep everything in its place (characteristics of the Trunk range: ). On an airport conveyor belt or on the forecourt of the Châtelet, it has this calm presence that inspires confidence. For Ronaldinho, it's neither a whim nor another logo: it's a choice consistent with a way of traveling.

When the style of the game meets the elegance of travel

There's an obvious parallel between Ronaldinho 's football and the experience offered by the Trunk. The former plays accurately, without forcing; the latter rolls straight, without unnecessary noise. The former invents; the latter simplifies. Together, they compose a story of movement and mastery, where every detail has its place. When it's time to enter the theater, the suitcase doesn't create the show: it accompanies it, with the sobriety that magnifies great moments.
