The Louis Vuitton expansion continues in the Middle East with the opening of a second store in Riyadh. A destination for luxury shopping, the Centria Mall will witness a refined space that provides visitors with a one-of-a-kind experience.

The house’s heritage, savoir-faire and history are reflected through the leather-goods, shoes, accessories, watches and jewelry that are on display. Men and women’s designs are made available, in addition to LV’s latest collection of exceptional travel pieces.

The one-story boutique sees a rich palette of sophisticated materials for a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The visitors’ shopping experience starts with the room of women’s leather goods, where a journey through time takes us from the house’s iconic Alma, which dates back to 1934, to the modern Petit Malle, Twist and City Streamer, created by Nicolas Ghesquière.

In addition to the new classics, the store showcases a wide selection of handbags from the Fall/Winter and Cruise collections. While the Fall/Winter collection depicts the futuristic feel that sets the creative director apart, the cruise pieces are playful and original.

Ghesquière’s Art of Travel reinvention sees the light in the centre of the store. The Travel room offers vintage classic trunks, iconic bags and new creations, such as Alzers and the 4-wheel Zéphyr trolley. A personalization service is also made available for both men and women, giving them the opportunity to make an LV piece their very own.

Shoes also take part in the store in a dedicated area that allows visitors to explore the latest LV hand-crafted styles. To celebrate this opening, exclusive platform pumps under the name of “Eyeline” were made of gold python leather embossed with Riyadh on the insole.

Louis Vuitton’s heritage is further highlighted in the men’s section through an antique trunk that dates back to 1898. The store also offers a private salon, offering clients an effortlessly elegant shopping experience.
