Louis Vuitton to open Marina Bay boutique

LOUIS VUITTON fans can look forward to a shopping spree, as the luxury brand will open an outlet at Singapore's Marina Bay Sands next year.

Louis Vuitton's flagship store at Marina Bay Sands will be a one-of-a-kind experience. It will be a striking glass-and-steel Crystal Pavilion island that will sit on Marina Bay.

"This unique Louis Vuitton store at Marina Bay Sands speaks volumes about the visibility and credibility we have established in the retail community," said David Sylvester, vice president, Retail Asia, Las Vegas Sands Corp, in a statement to The Brunei Times.

He said retailers recognise the quality of Marina Bay Sands, which is envisioned to attract high-level visitors from Singapore and beyond because of the winning combination of luxury brands, celebrity chef restaurants, luxury hotel, a casino, expo and convention facilities, and world-class entertainment under one roof.

Marina Bay Sands has secured commercial terms for close to 80 per cent of its retail space.

The company will open up to half of the total retail space in the first quarter of next year.

With over 75,000 square metres of retail and restaurant space, Marina Bay Sands will be a prime destination for shoppers from all over the world.

"We will offer over 300 stores in a refreshing mix of international luxury brands and cutting-edge and emerging labels new to Singapore, as well as innovative entertainment including boat rides in an indoor canal."

Beside Louis Vuitton, other luxury brands have also committed to open their boutique in Marina Bay Sands Shoppes, including Bally, Blancpain, Bottega Veneta, Breguet, Bvlgari, Burberry, CHANEL, Ferragamo, Gucci, Guess, Hublot, La Senza, Miu Miu, Omega, Patek Philippe, Prada, Raoul, Tiffany & Co and Yves Saint Laurent.
