An Artistic Fusion of Monogrammed Elegance
While maintaining an air of mystery, the French luxury house has shared some insights into the design of this monogrammed briefcase building. "The facade will be adorned with a Monogram-patterned metal mesh, crafted from wood and aluminum." Located at 103 Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris, this extraordinary structure will stand proudly across from Louis Vuitton's renowned flagship store.
It will undoubtedly evoke the iconic small trunks of the French luxury house for aficionados of luxury. The building pays homage to "La Petite Malle," presented during Nicolas Ghesquière's inaugural runway show, embodying the brand's Monogram motif and symbolizing the Maison's craftsmanship with its distinctive silhouette and metallic finishes. With this massive briefcase-shaped building project, LV will offer a nod to one of its iconic fashion pieces.
The persistent rumors have been officially confirmed. Louis Vuitton is set to open a hotel at 103-111 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, as approved by the Paris Departmental Commission for Commercial Development. This 6000 m² establishment is expected to open its doors in 2026, adding a prestigious dimension to this famous Parisian avenue.
