The Excitement is Building

Jeff and I went out for pizza tonite and we decided to pass by the mall for a quick run through. As we were leaving, I saw this posted at our local Bloomies. LVoe it...it will be our 6th store in the Greater Washington Area though I heard rumours that one might be closing...yikes!

Louis Vuitton Orchard Road Singapore Collection

Verbatim from the Bagaholicboy that hails from Singapore.




It's time to unveil the 'limited editions' that were released specially to mark the opening of Louis Vuitton at ION Orchard. Called the Louis Vuitton Orchard Road Singapore collection, it's not 100% true that these pieces were just made specifically for us. Many of them are new season items like the Irene or just have the words 'Louis Vuitton Orchard Road Singapore' slapped across the box or tag.

The most prized of them all (in my opinion anyway) would be the Louis Vuitton Monogram Miroir Bel-Air in Gold. Only 100 available, the clutch comes with its own removable chain strap.


I'm actually liking this, the Louis Vuitton Apparence Transparent Sunglasses, which is actually from the next season. Made specifically for the boys, I love how the transparent acetate frame looks. There is also another pair for the ladies, the Louis Vuitton Soupcon Sunglasses which feature 'inclusion' details (inspired by the fancy jewellery).


Then there is this pair of ballerinas in Bronze, which feature the tinsels, stones and ribbons left over from the current season. There are also 6 silk trench coats for the ladies, 12 lambskin miniskirts (think perforated like the Mahina) and 80 cotton tees which has a removable patch on the shoulder that matches the ballerinas above.

Taken as a whole the collection is really ho-hum, though there are a couple of star pieces (like the sunglasses). Still I am thankful that they did not do a Merlion charm.

Louis Vuitton opens in Padua, Italy

One of my patron saints is San Antonio de Padua, so I was happy to learn that a Louis Vuitton Boutique has opened in his famed city. For the ocassion LV has commissioned their artisans to design and manufacture what Italy is known for the world over: SHOES! These Limited Edition Men and Women's footwear are only available at the Paduan Store. The patchwork women's heels are constructed of leather and python illuminated with metallic details of rivets & plates. The understated men's moccasin on the other hand, are made out of calfskin. Both have a signature buckle that I'm not quite sure if it is specific only for this collection of two. It finishes them both quite perfectly! Sigh, I wish it were just a hop, skip and a jump away. Congratulations, Padova for your new Louis Vuitton Boutique, LVoe it!!!

Louis Vuitton /underground/ Store Opens tomorrow

The very first Louis Vuitton store that is situated below ground level(hence the name), opens tomorrow May 30. Located within the flagship of Seibu Department Stores in Ikebukuro, Toshima, Tokyo, this limited "installation" is a concept store outfitted with packing crates to display LV merchandise. American rapper Cool Keith performed in last night's opening party. Sigh...I wish we have these kinda events in the US. Photos from: Fashionsnap & Verbal (who was the host for the evening)

Louis Vuitton Brand New Store Dallas Northpark

Don't you just LVoe Store Openings? But this one is ultra-special due to an artwork gracing its floor. Executed by renowned French artist Vincent Dubourg, the patinated cast bronze and polished cast aluminum sculpture is entitled "Suitcase in Exile", a coffee table that was produced in 2008 by the artist's atelier in a limited edition of 8. Special thanks to Helen for the store photos. Photo of "Exile" coffee table from Phillips de Pury & Company. Congratz, Texas on your new store!!!
