(Macao, Jul. 1, 2024) – Macao's leading retail mall, Shoppes at Four Seasons, is known for continual evolution in luxury retail, which is reflected by the calibre of its designer fashion tenants and the impressive efforts that go into each opening. The latest to open a showstopping boutique is Louis Vuitton.
According to the official press release, "Louis Vuitton introduces contemporary shopping experience with the opening store at Shoppes at Four Seasons with amidst hard sided arrangements, the layout proposes men and women's product universes in greater fluidity, curated to capture and captivate the most discerning of clients seeking exceptional design above all else. We transitioned through a connection bridge into the Louis Vuitton 'Memories of Trunks' tunnel, where trunk modules have been placed around the space in a tunnel-like configuration which highlights the specific and notable contributions that the Vuitton family made to the Maison, showcasing items that detail the early inspirations and designs of the brand. Inspired by the travel legacy of Louis Vuitton, 'Memories of Trunks' plunges visitors into the Maison's rich trunkmaking heritage through a variety of hard-sided creations, from the iconic Monogram and Damier to rarer metal iterations, as a trunk is not just luggage but a vessel for the unique memories of its owners and the wonderful journeys it has taken. This new installation allows for a discovery of these exceptional, contemporary designs within an immersive stacked trunk scenography.
The tunnel connects the women's store from the atrium to another store that carries all categories. Louis Vuitton presents a captivating range of offerings across various categories. Returning to the House's trunkmaking beginnings, Nicolas Ghesquière creates the Side Trunk MM handbag in Monogram canvas and calf leather. What strikes the eye is the singularity of the leather zip tab fitted with the iconic S-lock and the reinforced metallic corners. The wide top handle is removable as is the thin leather shoulder strap.
There're some special trunks are on display at the Four Seasons store. In the timeless tradition of Louis Vuitton to create lifestyle trunks to accompany stylish travelers, the Sneakers Trunks will please the most passionate collectors.

The Cabinet of Curiosities is the new collaboration with the most influential designer of his generation: Marc Newson. It is the perfect mix between a heritage trunk in monogram canvas outside and Marc Newson's sleek style inside. The secretary was conceived and made exclusively for the orchestra conductor Leopold Stokowski to correspond to his work and travel habits. It has become a legendary object over time.
