The store, Vuitton’s most luxurious ever, will be entered by a bridge across what he calls a ‘virtual moat’ of LED screens. A 10m-high wall of Louis Vuitton trunks rises to the ceiling like a five-star left-luggage office. The costume jewellery department has been designed around a theme of interplanetary travel: the display cabinets have been based on the rings of Saturn, and it’s adorned with a Takashi Murakami sculpture of a Martian (source: thisislondon.co.uk).

So, if you pass by New Bond street and Cliffort street, just stop there and get a luxury experience.
