Singapore will welcome a new luxury shopping destination and retail icon
when Louis Vuitton opens its first Island Maison at the Marina Bay Sands in September of this year. The
Maison will sit on the waterfront of the Marina Bay promenade and will be a distinctive landmark in the
celebrated landscape around the bay.
The Louis Vuitton Island Maison is a one of a kind concept for the luxury brand, and will feature nauticalinspired
interiors exclusively designed by internationally acclaimed and award winning architect Peter
Marino. Visitors can look forward to a unique and sophisticated retail experience as the first Louis Vuitton
Maison in Southeast Asia will incorporate art and cultural elements in its retail space.
The ground floor of the Island Maison will feature the complete selection of men’s and women’s leather
goods, ready to wear, shoes and accessories. Keeping close to the brand’s DNA where the desire is to
transform every journey into a refined and personal experience, the mezzanine level will celebrate the
romance of travel by dedicating an area to travel luggage and accessories in the first Travel Room in
Asia Pacific. There will also be a private lounge for intimate presentations as well as an outdoor loggia
reminiscent of a deck on a luxury yacht.
From the island, visitors can travel through a tunnel that will showcase pieces of contemporary artwork.
The tunnel connects to the Marina Bay Sands mall and visitors will arrive at the Louis Vuitton bookstore,
where they can browse through a specially curated range of design, cultural and art books. A spiral
staircase on the same floor will lead visitors up to a magnified space which will display timepieces, fine
jewellery and exceptional leather bags.
The Louis Vuitton Island Maison at Marina Bay Sands will be the fifth store for the brand in Singapore and
opens to the public on 18 September 2011.
