Louis Vuitton Opens World's Largest Store in Paris
Multi-stored Louis Vuitton store, which opened last week on the Champs-Elysees in Paris, is overcrowded by tourists who can't have enough of iconic logos.
The world's largest Louis Vuitton store, which opened to the public last Wednesday on the Champs-Elysees in Paris, was literally swarmed by Asian and American tourists eager to shop.
On Friday, a spokeswoman for Louis Vuitton reported a "huge success" with jewelry and watches and a "strong start" for sunglasses, a new product category exclusive to Champs-Elysees location for one month.
Also, all 125 miniature versions of iconic Louis Vuitton handbags, priced from 600 to 750 euros, $725 to $900 at current exchange, blew out. Bigger ticket items also appeared to move swiftly.
One shopper was told there were only four pairs left of limited-edition Louis Vuitton crocodile pumps — which retail for 3,000 euros ($3,625).
And in the Louis Vuitton jewelry department, one major jewelry case stood empty: A spectacular necklace of white and yellow diamonds, the most expensive item in the store at 330,000 euros ($399,000), already found a buyer.
