Did you know that we are just 1.2 miles from the Rodeo Louis Vuitton Boutique?  It’s a straight shot- straight down Rodeo and then we’re right across from the Beverly Hills Hotel.

So, next time you’re down on Rodeo, doing some shopping… why not come on by?  We’re happy to let you take a look at anything we’ve got up- and even to preview stuff that hasn’t made it online yet.  You know we’re always happy to take your consignments, and maybe we can even work out a trade or two!

Just send us an email to let us know when you’ll be in the area, and we’ll make sure that there will be someone there to to meet you!

BTW:  I hadn’t seen Google Street view before- here’s FASHIONPHILE via Google:

And here’s the Rodeo Boutique:

 Well, it might not be at a boutique, and who knows about whether or not you’d get company discounts… but LVMH is still accepting applications for the @Murakami exhibit in-store Brooklyn Museum of Art Louis Vuitton boutique.

(from Mihimaru’s flikr & SkyScraperCity love the Louis Vuitton fleur sailor suit!)

I just read a really interesting story on the Louis Vuitton Canton Road opening party from someone who was there: Anton San Diego, for the Philippine Daily Inquirer. It’s such a good read- he’s got great information on what went on- and tells how he and some other reporters came home with free Keepalls! Take a look!

Here’s a little something for those of us who couldn’t attend.  Does Louis Vuitton know how to throw a party or what.  Here are some great pictures from the folks at Hong Kong Hustle, who were there!  Take a look at their blog for a ton more pictures!!!  The following pictures are theirs-

Well, our friends in Pittsburgh have had the Louis Vuitton/ Saks Fifth Avenue in-store boutique… but it looks like they’re about to get their own shop!

Yep, theres a new boutique going into the Ross Park Mall! Read more about it HERE…

OK… you know the drill. I travel a lot. If I can do a little shopping while I’m there, I can write off the trip! (At least that’s what I tell my husband as my excuse for spending my sightseeing time at the Boutiques!!!)

So, I like to take a picture outside- and give you a couple clues to see if you can guess where I am!

Here we go…

Clue #1. Here I am-

Clue #2. This Boutique is in a little country with the highest Gross Domestic Product per capita in the world.

Clue #3.

We took our kids to the fabulous public park here (that’s it pictured above) and saw more “Luxe” bags than I have ever seen outside a VIP event or opening! (There’s double meaning in this clue, but it’s true… authentic Louis Vuitton, Chanel, MJ, Balenciaga- at the park.)

Free shipping on any one of our FASHIONPHILE eBay listings till the end of February for the correct answer to this one!

Send me a picture of you in front of a boutique! I’d love to set up a “Name that Boutique” round for you here on our blog!

I always love seeing the results! You know what I mean… you hear through the grape-vine that “so and so” got a little work done. Who doesn’t want to take a peek?

The Louis Vuitton Boutique was one of the original fixtures when the fabulous Copley Place opened its doors in Boston in 1984. It’s high time it got a little overhaul, and it sounds like that’s exactly what happened.

According to WWD, the new boutique is 7,200 square foot! This is more than twice as big as it was in it’s previous life. It’s also now the 15th “Global Store” in the US. This means that in addition to just carrying leather goods, it will have women’s and men’s shoes, ready to wear and even an exclusive, “secluded” fine jewelry section.

Sounds fab! I’d love to see some of the cosmetic changes. From WWD:

The ceiling was pushed up about 3 feet to create a tray ceiling finished with Venetian plaster squares that mimic the signature Damier print. The 185-foot metal-and-glass facade also has a Damier motif.

Wow! If you have any pictures- please send them on! I’m dying to see!

Interesting… the first “just for men” Louis Vuitton boutique opened in Osaka this week.  I don’t have many details yet… But I did find some pretty cool pics on Honeyee’s blog. Unfortunately, I can’t read it
But I can look at all the pretty pictures!  I love the picture above of the Graphite Damier Piano that was on display at the F/W 2008 Men’s Show.  I could definitely see more of that!

I love it!

Loving it! So apparently in an effort to spruce up old buildings without doing total renovations/overhalls- Louis Vuitton went to the Gas Design Group about coming up with an eco-friendly Topiade, or “overlay facade,” for existing Louis Vuitton boutiques.

A Topaide is apparently a hybrid topiary and living wall. Basically, it looks cool- but has a bunch of great environmental benefits as well.

It looks just amazing, in my opinion- kind of like a luxury version of something you’d see at Disneyworld/Epcot’s Living with the Land exhibit.

This quote from www.treehugger.com about the potential collateral eco-benefit of Louis Vuitton adding these Topaides gave me a little chuckle!

This is wonderful because everything Louis Vuitton does gets knocked off instantly. Soon all of Canal Street in New York, Spadina Avenue in Toronto, countless cheap shopping streets around the world will sport green living facades.

How true that is!
