Another reason to head to Nordies…
Well at least if you’re in Chicago!
Louis Vuitton opened thier first in-store boutique in a Nordstrom on North Michigan Avenue. Read more about the opening here.
We’d heard about the opening and were hoping that it would be unveiled when Emily and Ben were at eBay Live in Chicago this year at the end of June. But alas- it didn’t finally open until just this week.
Lucky for us… vtachgyrl from The Purse Forum WAS able to check it out and got some really cool pictures of the Norstrom Louis Vuitton window display that she’s graciously let me share. I think it’s so interesting. Take a peek:
Yes, those are Louis Vuitton Neverfull bags being blown in the wind by steel industrial fans.
I’m trying to get my tiny little brain wrapped around this. I keep thinking about the scene in the Louis Vuitton & Marc Jacobs documentary where LV upper-ups are walking around like this huge area with all of the display windows that are to be used all over the world. I’m wondering what Arnault, Carcelle, etc would think about the concept.
What do you think Nordies LV is trying to say?

i guess they’re trying to say that the Neverfulls are very light and tough. i love it.

The Neverfull is a super light bag and surprisingly strong bag. Excessive bag weight is complaint that I hear quite a lot- not only with LV but with other luxury bags. I bought a Chloe Paddington years ago, and the thing was a beast! I loved it at first, but it was so heavy!

WOW! I hope that the Nordstrom’s here opens a wonderful LV in store boutique. I just love that store! Saks used to have an in store boutique as weel, but they do not have it anymore! BUMMER! So really the only place to go is NYC and I love going there anyway so it really is no big deal. Just to see the displays, jsut beautiful!!!
