Louis Vuitton will open the Maison’s first-ever flagship store entirely devoted to Men’s Collections in the Shibuya district of Tokyo.
Located within MIYASHITA PARK, the new Louis Vuitton store will open its doors by appointment as of July 6th ahead of the grand opening on July 28th, 2020.
To celebrate the opening, the facade of the two-story boutique has been customized to mark the collaboration between Louis Vuitton men’s artistic director Virgil Abloh and Japanese designer Nigo, creator of the clothing lines A Bathing Ape (Bape) and Human Made.
The first part of the LV² collection is scheduled to go on sale worldwide on June 26, with a second drop planned for Aug. 28.
Visitors will be greeted by a 10-foot tall “LV Made” duck, a reinterpretation of the Human Made emblem that will be available as a collector’s item, on a coin purse or attached to the handles of a bag. Other limited-edition items available at the store include a Monogram mink hoodie.
Vuitton has a close relationship with Japan, which was among the first markets to have access to Abloh’s designs for the brand when they launched last year.
A pop-up in Tokyo that opened in January 2019 raked in 30 percent more in the first 48 hours than Vuitton’s collaborative collection with Supreme in 2018, Vuitton chief executive officer Michael Burke told WWD at the time.
