Espace Louis Vuitton Hong Kong
By Miryam Rodriguez
Louis Vuitton’s Asian flagship store—or "maison," as they call it—lights up Canton Road, Hong Kong's premiere shopping street, with its brilliant 800-square-meter LED screen, created by Japanese designer, Kumiko Inui. The Hong Kong store, which opened its doors in March 2008 as the first of LV's "Espace" gallery spaces in Asia, boasts a total of 1,749 square meters, with four floors of retail space—including their signature “Bag Bar,” two private VIP rooms, and the largest Vuitton jewelry and watch salon in the world. It is within this proverbial lap of luxury that Espace Louis Vuitton provides a wide selection of art books and exhibitions featuring international artists such as Zhou Jun, the Campana Brothers, Man Fung Yi, and Hiroyuki Masuyama for customers and passersby alike—both of which abound on this stretch of Kowloon.
