There is something about visiting a Louis Vuitton outlet store that’s kinda mind-blowing. If you love fashion and designer trends then there is absolutely every need for you to find the time to plan a trip to at least one store at some point. Due to my job (I’m a stylist for a world famous fashion magazine) I get to not only see quite a few designer stores on my travels, I even get to meet the designers themselves!

Having been lucky enough to visit more then one Louis Vuitton store, I have to say that my favorite has been the time I was over in London and I got the chance to visit the one that’s to be found on New Bond Street. Just to digress – if you’re looking for an outlet in the UK and you (like many others around the world) don’t realize that Louis Vuitton do indeed have ‘outlets’ then click here for the address for the London store (and check your speakers are turned down – there’s music!).

The store itself stock a full range of LV products – from purses to shoes, accessories to clothing and much much more. The doors were first opened back in May of 2010, and the store has been a massive hit from the outset. Beautifully designed, the store oozes the luxury and class that we have come to expect from this world famous brand name.

From the minute that you step through the front doors, you feel as though you’ve been transported away into a world filled with rare works of art and utter decadence. From the tasteful décor to the opulence and obvious art-de-vivre – that’s very much a signature of Louis Vuitton – you know that you’re about to undergo an experience, rather than just another humdrum visit to a local store.

The staff are almost like the products on sale – beautiful, classy, there … and the whole ambience is one of ‘welcome, come in, do take your time’. Of course all of this is not relegated to the London outlet alone – you’ll find a similar environment at any of the Louis Vuitton stores that are currently dotted around the globe.

If you love high-end fashion, if you appreciate art in the form of fashion, then a trip to of of these stores will definitely (for you at least) be de rigueur – don’t pass up the opportunity should one present itself!
