Louis Vuitton opens its third Kuala Lumpur boutique in The Gardens Mall tomorrow. SYIDA LIZTA AMIRUL IHSAN takes a sneak peek
IT took 25 years for Louis Vuitton Malaysia to venture out of Kuala Lumpur into the suburbs. From its first store at the then Hilton Kuala Lumpur to Starhill Gallery and Suria KLCC, the newly-minted boutique in The Gardens Mall, just off the affluent Bangsar neighbourhood, comes at the perfect time.
Neighbourhood malls such as Bangsar Shopping Centre and Empire Gallery in Subang Jaya are fast becoming one-stop centres for people who don’t want to brave the chaotic traffic to go to the city for a day out. And The Gardens Mall at Mid Valley is a city mall in concept but is conveniently located outside it.
Just like a yuppie pad in an upscale neighbourhood, the new Louis Vuitton boutique — which will open tomorrow with actress Datuk Michelle Yeoh in attendance — is clean, clear and crisp, making that Alma in Monogram Vernis look all the more enticing under the bright spotlight.
The 365 sq m boutique is an eclectic mix of the old and new, with elements such as metal, glass and wood creating a spacious home for its venerable leather goods. A 47m-long facade with flower motif is a modern architectural touch which the Maison is known for.
Here is a walk-through of the new boutique: As the glass doors open, eyes will be fixed on the Bags Bar, a showcase of the brand’s coveted carriers and the white ceiling is stamped with the Monogram motif. It’s a chic, minimalist version of the white ceiling plaster.
But the journey doesn’t start there. It starts on your left, where the men’s universe is. The store has the biggest men’s area of the three Kuala Lumpur boutiques, parading men’s bags, neckties, belts and other accessories. Against the white and beige backdrop, the colours for its men’s range — black,,Our company has opened five years, we have our own shops.women handbags brown and charcoal — make the area look understated and classy.
Opposite the men’s universe is the travel section where Louis Vuitton’s famed luggage is displayed. There’s a table for Mon Monogram where you can have coloured strips and initials on your luggage to ensure your Pegase and Keepall are personalised.
The concept is now extended to the hugely popular Neverfull — so now you can’t complain that every other woman is carrying the same bag as you. Hate it that the counterfeiters make a decent look-alike? Well then, just Mon Monogram yours.Do not doubt that hard-working and able to endure ed hardy clothing already become the hottest Yong Yu cloth in being in 2010 clothes marketplaces face to face in fact. From the skin-tatooing decorative pattern , the easy to use but famous designer,Christianity Audigier readjusts oneself to a certain extent they becoming a ed hardy clothing. Problem solved.My little brother prefer to wear new era hats, moreover, he like to collect different styles of hats.
Ahead of the travel section are more men’s accessories such as shoes and sunglasses — the latter is now separated from women’s shades. The sofas are ready for when you want to try on shoes,Engraved on the frame on every pair of ed hardy sunglasses, is the band's name, Dior. from canvas sneakers to dressy footwear.
On the right from the men’s universe is a brass and glass door in the house’s Monogram flowers that opens to the high-end accessories section which displays Louis Vuitton’s exclusive bags, such as a puffy black and white bag in fox fur or a pale purple bag in alligator.
The doors on both sides can be closed should customers require a private viewing. The beige sofa and flowers take customers away from retail space into their living rooms. Starhill Gallery has a private room (the boutique carries watches and fine jewellery) but the one in The Gardens turns only into a secluded area only when needed. A clever use of space indeed.
Next to it is the women’s shoe area. Like the men’s, it comes with a set of beige sofa so you can try on the new sequined slingback or the Monogram ballet flats in comfort. And next to the shoes is the Bags Bar, which greeted you when the door first opened.
Here are Louis Vuitton’s bags, the Neverfull, Alma, Speedy, Noe and everything in between in a multitude of finishing and colours that will sure make any bag-toting woman will feel like a girl in a candy store. The Alma in Monogram Vernis is gorgeous. The Speedy is cute and practical. It’s hard not to have a handbag monologue in your head when you are face-to-face with some of the fashion world’s coveted carriers.
There’s also an antique trunk in the store. As with tradition, every Louis Vuitton store has an antique trunk as a symbol of the French house’s heritage in the luggage industry. Vintage advertisements are framed and hung on the walls of the boutique, again to remind customers of the brand’s history and heritage.
Finally, there’s the women’s accessories wall where scarves, accessories and small leather goods are displayed. There are key chains, wallets, coin purses, small bags and organisers. The range is wide. Surely, there will be something you fancy.
After that, the journey ends at the same glass door from where you came in. That is, assuming you don’t fall in love with something and head for the cashier first.
