Louis Vuitton has unveiled a new gem in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, introducing its largest flagship store in Malaysia at Pavilion KL. This architectural marvel is a stunning addition to the city’s premier shopping destination, offering an unparalleled experience that combines fashion, art, and culture.
After bidding a fond farewell to its previous location at The Starhill, where it had proudly stood as Malaysia’s first global store since 2014, Louis Vuitton has taken a bold step forward. The new store, just a stone’s throw away across the street, represents a significant upgrade in size, design, and experience.
Louis Vuitton waves goodbye to The Starhill and hello to Pavilion KL
The exterior of the Pavilion KL store is nothing short of breathtaking. Standing at an impressive eleven metres high, the facade features perforated aluminium panels that reinterpret Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram. These panels create a mesmerising play of light and shadow, illuminating the surrounding area of Jalan Bukit Bintang and offering tantalising glimpses into the opulent interior. It’s a visual invitation that promises wonder and sophistication, enticing shoppers to step inside.
Step into a world of elegance at the new Louis Vuitton store
Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a space that exudes elegance and sophistication. The store’s interior design is a masterful blend of sleek lines, rich materials, and carefully selected local and international artworks. The ambiance is both inviting and inspiring, setting the stage for a memorable shopping experience.
Louis Vuitton has made a conscious effort to celebrate Malaysian culture within this flagship store by working with renowned local artist Red Hongyi to create bespoke pieces that pay homage to the country’s heritage, seamlessly integrating art and fashion. These unique artworks add a personal and cultural touch, making the store not just a shopping destination but a celebration of artistry.
The first floor is dedicated to the men’s universe, where warm tones and rich materials like wood create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Here, shoppers can explore an extensive collection of men’s ready-to-wear, shoes, leather goods, and accessories where every piece is meticulously crafted to reflect the Maison’s commitment to quality and style.
A grand stone staircase connects the first and second floors, leading customers to the women’s section. This floor is a tribute to feminine elegance, highlighted by a special handmade wallpaper by Atelier Martin Berger. Known for their work with prestigious establishments like Hotel Metropole in Monte Carlo and the Mandarin Oriental in Paris, Atelier Martin Berger has created a stunning backdrop for the latest collections of women’s leather goods, ready-to-wear pieces, shoes, and accessories.
Further into the women’s section, a private client salon awaits, bathed in natural light and adorned with painted and woven straw artworks by the artist MOOK. This serene space offers a luxurious retreat for discerning clients, allowing them to shop in comfort and privacy.
Moving on to the top floor is where Louis Vuitton’s most exclusive products are showcased. Exotic leather goods, precision timepieces, and exquisite fine jewellery are displayed in a setting that features rich design elements such as Botticino marble arches and walls with mother-of-pearl inlays.
Two distinct private client salons on this floor offer an intimate shopping experience, each adorned with custom artworks by some of Southeast Asia’s most influential artists. These salons provide a personalised and exclusive environment where clients can browse the collections at their leisure, surrounded by beauty and tranquility.
While the new Pavilion KL store promises a world of personalisation—imagine engraving your perfume bottle, hot stamping your initials on elegant luggage tags, or adding artistic flair to the Maison’s iconic hard-sided trunks. These unique touches ensure your Louis Vuitton pieces are as distinctive as you are.
An exclusive collection awaits
For fashion aficionados, there’s even more to be excited about. The Pavilion KL store will exclusively offer the upcoming Louis Vuitton and Timberland capsule collection. This highly anticipated collaboration includes the Maison’s coveted boot collaboration and other items from the partnership, which will only be available at this store in the Klang Valley.
