Home Of Exclusive And Iconic Pieces
Louis Vuitton proudly unveils its newly redesigned store at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.
The iconic initials need no introduction. The moment you see “LV” you know what that represents and that you want it.
The Maison of Louis Vuitton creates beautifully crafted fashion pieces that stand the test of time. Since 1854, the spirit of its founder, Louis Vuitton, has been that of savoir-faire and innovative design. It flourishes to this day and its impact has changed the fashion world.
Canadians have demonstrated their appreciation for fashion with notable dressers like Drake and Justin Bieber and a strong Canadian retail market. Louis Vuitton’s newly redesigned store at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver reinforces its founding principles of tailored artistry, design and class. The elegant boutique offers a suite of the Maison’s products including men’s and women’s leather goods, accessories, Internet-connected objects, fragrance, ready-to-wear, shoes, jewellery and watches, as well as the Maison’s iconic hard-sided luggage pieces and exclusive Objets Nomades collection.
The store’s interiors celebrate the heart of both Louis Vuitton and Vancouver. Fine art and design from across the world accent every section, all brimming with luminous colours reflecting Vancouver’s natural beauty. Several pieces were commissioned specifically for the store to add to the harmonious ambience. A strikingly ingenious painting by Italian artist Isadora Capraro has been hung on a curved wall. Montreal-based artist Heidi Spector created a bold striped composition on Russian birch and then coated it in resin to create a confection-like surface. A geometric three-dimensional canvas by Vancouver artist Scott Sueme is another standout custom creation. Raised in Vancouver, the unceded traditional territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, Sueme explores the intersection of the quality and perception of colour in his work.
The ultimate bespoke experience, Louis Vuitton’s traditional hand-crafted customization is exemplified by an on-site hot-stamping service that allows clients to personalize various leather goods. The boutique will also offer the services of a dedicated Louis Vuitton artisan who apprenticed in Paris to apply bespoke designs to the Maison’s historic hard-sided trunks.
Fashionistas, rival brands and fellow designers pay homage to the iconic brand, which has spurred a global love for the “Art of Travel” through its luggage bags and accessories. Its many multidisciplinary collaborations over the years with architects, designers and artists in addition to the production of its own craveable creations from ready-to-wear shoes to fragrances are all proof of the power of the LV brand – of its present success and of its even more promising future.
