Louis Vuitton (Paris) opened its permanent location in Miami’s Design District this week, representing the new, modern look of Vuitton, while paying homage to Miami Beach’s architectural history.
“I really believe that the Design District will be a very important store for us because you will have a mix of international and local clients,” said Anthony Ledru, president and ceo of Louis Vuitton Americas, adding that they’ll expect an exceptional level of service and a unique experience.
It’s the first shop to feature Vuitton’s women’s ready-to-wear on the main floor, according to Women’s Wear Daily.
The store’s façade was designed by Japanese architect Jun Aoki in collaboration with Mirei Uchibe, reports WWD. At night, the facade becomes a light box, lit up by LED lights radiating from behind the grid of “quilted” panels.
