In late June this year, French luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton broke the internet<\/a> with the grand opening of its new flagship in Shanghai. The Louis Vuitton Shanghai flagship, incidentally, takes the shape of a literal ship and is affectionately named \u201cThe Louis\u201d to honour the maritime traditions of both the city and the travel origins of the Maison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new flagship is a reflection of the Maison\u2019s understanding of and adaptation to the Chinese market<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the opening and the subsequent travel campaign from the fashion house, Dao Insights is honoured to have received direct comments from Louis Vuitton. The new flagship is not only a bold step for the brand to expand its offline retail presence, but also a reflection of the Maison\u2019s understanding of and adaptation to the ever-evolving Chinese market and its consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location, location, etc.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Louis is located on Wujiang Road and is part of the HKRI Taikoo Hui in the centre of Shanghai. Combined with the nearby Zhangyuan, this area is quickly emerging as the new luxury hub in the city that complements established locations such as Nanjing Road. As The Louis is meant to be a new landmark<\/a> for travellers to Shanghai and a \u201cconnection to local culture\u201d, Louis Vuitton believes that its presence will likely accelerate the shift as it adds much to the cluster, making the ship a must-visit destination for fashion and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
