Louis Vuitton's new space at K11 Musea in Hong Kong: after unveiling giant ship The Louis in Shanghai, the label is expanding in Tsim Sha Tsui – where Pharrell hosted a show in 2023
After making headlines last month with the opening of a ship-shaped store in Shanghai that's still the talk of the town in China and beyond, it looks as though Louis Vuitton has big plans for Hong Kong too. The Parisian label has just erected a large expanse of scaffolding at the K11 Musea mall, located in the shopping and tourist district of Tsim Sha Tsui. The space overlooks the landmark Avenue of Stars, which boasts sweeping views of the iconic Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong skyline.

In late 2023, not long after the city reopened to the world after pandemic-era border closures, the French brand hosted a dazzling show in the same place to unveil its menswear pre-fall 2024 collection , designed by men's creative director Pharrell Williams Models on the catwalk at the Louis Vuitton men's pre-fall 2024 fashion show at the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.

Named The Louis and located in the HKRI Taikoo Hui mall, that store takes the concept of experiential retail to the next level. The three-floor structure, which has been trending on Chinese social media and has already become a destination in its own right, features retail areas, an exhibition space and a restaurant. Named The Louis, Louis Vuitton's new ship-shaped space in Shanghai has already become a popular destination.

But while high net worth individuals may be reassessing their luxury purchases, they haven't stopped splurging on experiences such as luxury trips, five-star hotel stays and fine dining. Louis Vuitton has been actively investing in stores that have a strong lifestyle element. For instance, its recently opened boutique in Milan, housed in a late Neoclassical palazzo on the prestigious Via Montenapoleone, debuted fine dining concepts in partnership with the famous Da Vittorio restaurant group.

Can the French Reinvent America's Broken Department-Store Model?
The American department-store model is broken. A French operator that recently opened a flagship store in New York City thinks it has a better one. Printemps New York is following the European department-store playbook of serving up enough food and drinks, exhibitions and other activities to keep shoppers occupied far beyond the fitting room.

Details of M&S plan for Toys R Us store revealed
Marks & Spencer (M&S) says a new "flagship store" will be designed to "meet the needs of local shoppers" in Ipswich as it submits plans. The retailer announced plans to open a new food and clothing store within the former Toys R Us shop at the Copdock Interchange in November. Its existing store in Ipswich town centre on Westgate Street will remain open and M&S has officially submitted its plans to Babergh District Council for consideration. The plans reveal M&S will partly demolish the Toys R Us building, while the new store will help employ 124 people. The new store will include a food hall, clothing area, cafe and car parking for 328 customers and 43 staff members. The application added that the development would "complement, rather than compete with, the existing retail offer and improve customer choice and competition in Ipswich". The site has been vacant since 2018 when Toys R Us went into administration. M&S wants to remove an existing wall within the building as well as demolish a small area to the rear to create a larger service yard. Matthew Hicks, the Conservative leader of Suffolk County Council, previously welcomed the news of the new store. "We fully support this deal with M&S because it retains their long-standing presence in the town centre whilst also breathing new life into a very visible entrance to Ipswich that has lain vacant for so long," he said. The council will consider the application before making a decision in the future. Will Smith, property director at M&S, said he was "excited" the plans had moved one step forward. "We have the opportunity to transform a vacant site into one of the most modern shopping destinations in the UK and offer residents the very best of M&S Food, Fashion and Beauty," he said. "The new store would enable us to grow our footprint in Ipswich, building on our existing presence, create new jobs for the community and bring new investment to the area."
