Louis Vuitton keeps surprising the public with rather exquisite and ambitious new stores. First, The Louis, a boat shaped store in Shanghai. Now, A 25-story luxury store in the Fifth Avenue. Are you curious? Let us guide you through it!
Transforming the current store
It is known that Louis Vuitton has submitted fresh plans to the city, revealing its intention to replace its current 20-story store with an exuberant 485-foot-tall (around 148 meters) flagship. However, this new space will be unlike any other store you may have visited. Some even describe it as a 25-story luxury playground. In the filings, Louis Vuitton refers to it as a “world-class experiential retail destination,” where visitors can enjoy “shopping, culture, and moments of respite — all in a single visit.”

The spectacular inside
Perfectly blending shopping, culture, and iconic exclusivity, this modern sanctuary of luxury fashion is set to offer a host of wonders. A spa, a café with a terrace, four floors of exhibitions, showroom suites, and a restaurant are just some of the features planned for the 25-story flagship store, where Louis Vuitton fans will also be able to browse leather goods and runway collections.

The experience promises to be truly sky-high, with the eighth floor featuring a café and terrace overlooking Central Park. Four dedicated exhibition floors will trace the brand’s 170-year legacy, while above them guests will find a spa, showroom suites, and a selection of restaurants — all crowned by a rooftop bar and garden.
Opening of the new store
For now, the project is still awaiting public approval, as the design is expected to push the limits of zoning rules related to street walls, setbacks, and pedestrian space. Nevertheless, Fifth Avenue may soon be welcoming its newest luxury playground.
Stay tuned!
With love,
