On our last day in Paris, we visited the flagship Louis Vuitton store on Champ Élysées. As you can see from the photo, there are at least five stories of luxury goods. I am a typical cheap Chinese male, so I do not own anything with a high-end designer label. There was a line to get in the door, only because each party was assigned a personal shopper to assist you in choosing your perfect purse, wallet, clothing, or whatever.
Here is the line at the side of the building. It moved quickly; we were in line for only about 15 minutes. I was a bit worried that they would not let me in the door.
Here is the entrance from the inside. I did not take a lot of pictures as no one else was, and it seemed inappropriate. But I did get a pic of some shoes. There was no price tag, but I would not buy them.
My sister’s family bought some stuff. My 15-year-old niece bought a small $1,300 purse. Wow, I know it is a long time ago, but all my possessions did not cost even $500 when I was fifteen. They also had some issues with payment since you needed a passport for VAT refunds, and I believe the store reports sales to the buyer’s national tax authorities. Initially they did not bring their passports, then they did not have matching passports and credit cards for the same person. I ended up having to get all their passports and wallets from the hotel so the purchase will go through. In total, it took about three hours. We were offered beverages but none of us asked for anything. I wonder if they have Dom Perignon available.
I did not purchase anyuthing.
