Louis Vuitton presents "The Louis" in Shanghai
French luxury house Louis Vuitton has announced the opening of a new location in Shanghai. This location combines retail, Le Café Louis Vuitton and an exhibition on the history of Louis Vuitton.
The building is shaped like a ship. It is intended as a contemporary homage to the origins of travel. This reflects Louis Vuitton's history as a maker of luggage for transatlantic voyages in the 19th century. It also recalls the city's significance as the gateway to the East, with Shanghai serving as an important shipping and trading centre in China. A metal facade: The Louis in Shanghai.
