Louis Vuitton

Quite literally the first store we came across on Champs Elysées and holy crap, this store is huge. Honestly, I think spending upwards of a thousand euros on a bag is ludicrous but with the number of people in this store, I was starting to think I was the minority. The place is jam-​packed and Louis Vuitton definitely has enough staff working the crowd that anyone that needed help was seen to. They were serving waters, orange juices, and champagnes to prospective customers but unfortunately nobody in our party got anything since the three of us were really just accompanying my mom and my mom definitely knew what she wanted. Though that changed fairly quickly when the sales girl started offering her recommendations and my mom almost walked out with two bags instead of just the one she had come in for. Let’s just say they’re pretty damn good at their job. I mean look at all the pictures of satisfied customers on Unilocal

February 2015 /​I walked up about an hour before closing. The sun was still shining and Louis Vuitton had velvet ropes and people waiting in line, fitting of a nightclub. Since I don’t wait in line at nightclubs I wasn’t about to start to buy a new bag. I spoke to the manager who happened to be at the entrance and asked if I could possibly book an appointment to return the following day. She handed me her business card to use at the door upon my return, to skip the line. The following day the velvet ropes were hanging out in the same place but this time without the fanfare. With no lineup, I walked right in. I knew what bag I wanted and took some time to view the different choices available for the interior colour. I sipped on champagne and the staff inside were very friendly despite being absolutely swamped. Once the style was chosen and all the paperwork (VAT refund etc…) was completed it took 40+ minutes for my new bag to be retrieved from the stockroom.
I’ve since heard the other Paris locations are less busy but I did not know this at the time. I observed that there are not many «looky-​loos». Most people are entering the store with the intention to make a purchase so that explains the lineups outside and the long waits to get your purchase inside.
Love the champagne and the smiley and warm service inside. Disliked waiting around :)

Huge and beautiful flagship store in Paris. For any luxury handbag snob this, Chanel, and Hermes is a must when visiting. I know I can’t afford Hermes, plus to even be on a waitlist for a Birkin you would have to be an existing client, so no visiting Hermes.
I got in before there was a wait outside, security checks you in and then you are free to roam. The store is three stories with a ton of merch. But no customer service at all, despite being very busy, they could at least acknowledge you. That’s okay though, since nothing really peaked my interest, and because I graduated to Chanel earlier this year! Snobbie, comment, yes, but hey, that’s what the designer handbag world is about!

How does a luxury store with a motto of catering to their customers win only 4 stars? A line and a lack of consistency with their customers.
I’ve been dreaming of buying my Louis at the champs élysée store after finishing my masters, landing my dream job, and returning for a celebratory trip back to Paris since my study abroad in 2009. So when it finally happened my best friend didn’t let me flake out on the dream. We waited in line for 20ish minutes to be let in. I knew exactly what I wanted but looked around regardless. So I finally had someone ask if I needed anything after 10 minutes in the store and told her what bag I wanted in two sizes to compare. She passed me off and we were set to go. I know I wasn’t needy and I obviously was in with a mission, but when spending as much money as I was… a little bit more would have been nice. Especially when everyone else had multiple people waiting on them and veuve clicquot being brought out for them. Regardless, I love my bag and I’m so happy I did what I had intended for so many years.

We came here several times during our stay and service was great and got better and better each time. Don’t believe it when they say the sales people are rude. They’re not!
During our last visit, they didn’t have the bag I wanted but called and held it for me at the Montaigne location. They actually even gave me a VIP tour of all the fine jewelry and even showed me the LV diamond that comes in the shape of their logo. I didn’t even know it existed but it was beautiful. They also gave us a tour of the bookshop within this store and said that most people don’t even know it’s there. To top it off, they gave us tickets to the LV foundation featuring Frank Gehry’s works. We absolute loved the Great Service!
Love this store. Love the bags, and loved all the great help. Will be back — hopefully soon!!!

So there are a lot of mixed reviews about this particular LV store in Paris. It is the most famous store. It’s the mothership. Tons of tourists come from all around the world to visit and shop in this store. That being said, any reviews that complain about the large crowds or 10 min wait in line (that not everybody experiences) should be taken with a grain of salt. Those details are likely to be a given when shopping at the Champs Élysées location.
I came here at the end of May to purchase one item: a cles pouchette in monogram. It’s probably one of the most inexpensive items in the store. I didn’t want it because of that. I’ve just heard so many people rave about them and I thought it would be a good started piece. In such a high end store I thought I would have felt intimidated because I’m buying such a small item, but that was not the case.
–It took about 10 – 15 mins to get the attention of an SA. In order to do that its best that after you look around the store, just stand near a counter or display case of the item you want. They will come to you. Everyone in the store is being helped by their own SA and no one will stop to help you while they’re in the middle of helping another customer. So many reviews of people saying they were ignored or no one wanted to help them. Well, there’s a way of getting what you want in luxury stores like this. Wait patiently and they will come to you.
— My SA was so nice. I told her I wanted a cles pochette in monogram and she still brought out the other prints for me to make sure. She was very happy to hear that it was my first LV piece and offered to let me try on other bags once I told her the bag I was interested in getting in the future. My friend and I were in the store for about 45 mins trying on our favorite bags. We were offered refreshments while we waited for our items to be wrapped. There is also free wifi that you can sign into which was nice. Make sure you bring your passport with you so they can properly fill out the VAT refund form for you.
Coming here was a one time thing for me just because of how busy it was in there. If I’m shopping for LV in Paris again I will probably go to the La Montaigne location where there are less people just looking. It’s a bit calmer in that store and you feel like you can take your time shopping.
Overall it was a great experience considering how many people were in the store. It seemed a little hectic at one point, but that’s what you get when visiting this location.

We had gone here with the intent to buy a rolling luggage bag/​Pegasus 55 but having walked around the place for over an hour we were acknowledged by only two individuals and they were acknowledging us in passing while waiting on other clients. I am usually not one to complain publicly but in my opinion the service was really really bad here and I choose who to patronize or not based on service. I stood back and observed the staff time and time again rush to help large groups of Asian clientele that had walked in while smaller group, especially we two, got ignored.
We even say at one of the review desks for over 5 mins and opened the bag and discussed… still no one walked over to assist.
There were several staffers just perched behind counters in pairs who never came out to greet us. Perhaps this is a Paris thing but our experience in the Frankfurt Germany location was hands down a better servicing experience.

Vraiment sympa, le plus grand des magasins LV. Rien à dire quant au service ou au choix des produits. Sur plusieurs étages, on est sur d’y trouver son bonheur! Petit hic, je les conseilelrais de faire un ménage plus régulier dans les toilettes pour les clients. Sinon, au top. Si le temps permet, expérience sympa à vivre dans l’ascensceur «noir» qui monte en haut où vous pouvez apprécier des expos éphermères.

I had such a great experience shopping at this flagship LV store, that I ended up buying 3 bags! It was a ten minute wait to get inside and I was amazed at the size of this store upon walking in. There were sales associates everywhere! But getting the attention of one was really difficult. Maybe because I look like an unassuming tourist, that had no intention to buy anything.
I ended up having to grab the attention of an Asian lady and she look kinda impatient to help me. When I asked to see the Daumier print in the speedy 30, she told me that she didn’t have it on the lower floor and sent me away! So off I went to the second floor, and I felt kinda lost, and was one minute away from writing a bad Unilocal review when I was greeted by Ethan freer who was originally from Pittsburgh US.
He was so friendly, patient and helpful, giving me suggestions along the way, providing drinks (champagne included) and explaining the VAT refund process to me. It was overall a really positive experience. I felts like I was on a high after shopping knowing my hubby spent lots of money for my new babies but on the bright side they were at 40% off California prices. Luv it!

Magasin parfait, accueil luxueux mais personnalisé ! 7 étages de luxe et de beauté visuelle ! Un plaisir de faire des achats la bas, on a l’impression que le temps c’est arrêté dans cet univers ! Je conseille vivement cette boutique même si vous n’y allez pas pour acheter ! Vraiment !

Ahhhh Paris, what a beautiful place!
When one wants to purchase a Louis Vuitton bag, the place to do so is at the original flagship LV store at the Avenue de Champs-​Élysées in Paris. What an amazing experience that I will never forget. Even better is the fact that I saved $ 500 purchasing my handbag here rather than just purchasing it back home (word of advice: make your purchase in euros, not USD to maximize your savings).
Upon arrival to the store, I noticed that there was a short line down the block filled with tourists and a bunch of teenagers who I’m sure weren’t going to purchase anything. Once they accepted that they weren’t planning on purchasing anything, they moved out of the line, and I was in the door in about five minutes. I’ll admit that I read the reviews for this store and set my expectations accordingly, so I conceded that I was going to have to wait a few minutes to be approached by a sales associate, but once I did, he was mine and mine only for the full two hours that I was there.
The store itself is beautiful. About eight huge floors total, with me actually estimating about five floors full of actual merchandise. One floor seemed to be like a lounge, another floor was for customer relations (in which I received my initials custom tailored on my bag for free). And lastly, the top floor consists of a museum in dedication to Mr Louis. The store was also filled with many books and magazines related to both art and fashion, which apparently was very important to Mr Louis Vuitton.
My sales associate was extremely sweet, and also very attractive. He spoke Spanish, Italian, English and of course, French. He told me that most of the associates that work there speak about four or so languages, with English being the most important. He asked me what I was interested in and carefully walked me around the whole entire store, picking out things he thought I would like. He also emphasized for me to take my time and not rush into a decision. Oh yeah, and during this time, I was supplied with several glasses of champagne, Veuve Clicquot to be exact. I suppose they thought that getting me tipsy would make me spend more money, but I pretty much had my eyes on one specific bag. The icing on the cake was that they let me pick out some designs and color to get my initials on my bag for free.
I am so happy with my purchase and I have already determined to buy another bag on my return trip to Paris. It’s definitely worth saving up to come here to make your LV purchases. The only thing I wish I had on my bag was a tag that indicated that I bought it at the Champs Elysees store. Also, it was really helpful that they filled all of the VAT paperwork out at the store, so the process was quick and painless once I got to the airport.

Alles lief super!
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfst bereit.
Wenn sie gegangen sind um die Waren zu bringen
(die Taschen Speedy 35 und Keepall 55), wurde mir noch in der kurze warte Zeit ein leckeren Kaffe angeboten. Somit sind alle meine Wünsche als Kundin erfühlt und ich bin damit sehr zufrieden. Ich komme hier sicherlich wieder!

Loja linda!
Às brasileiras, procurem o vendedor André!

Ich hatte zwar né kleine dezente LV Hobo (nein, man sieht nicht von 100 M Entfernung dass sie né LV Tasche ist) die ich seit fast 3 Jahren nicht mehr getragen hab, aber bin echt kein Fan von dieser Marke. Nicht nur dass sie mir zu auffällig ist aber weil sie mir einfach zu teuer ist. ;)

Als wir in Paris waren, sind wir mit einem Freund aus Singapur unterwegs gewesen. Er ist ’ a typical business man’, der grad halt in Europa Urlaub machte. Also, brauchte er auch paar angemessenen Mitbringsel, besonders für seine Familie und weibliche Geschäftspartner. Also, gingen wir auch mit ihm rein in diesem Laden.
-
Ich glaube selbst beim KIK und Aldi hat man mehr Ruhe die Ware anzugucken. Mein 2 Liebsten und ich machten eine schnellen Rundgang und warteten kurz als unser Freund sich paar Sachen angeguckt hat. Wir hatten dann Zeit zu beobachten wie die Laufkunden sind. Selbst die Leute, von dem Land die meisten Sachen nachmachen oder woher die meisten Fakes auf der Welt kommen, sind hier vertreten. Wo ist die Exklusivität und ‘privacy’? Man fühlt such dort überhaupt nicht ‘being exclusive’ wenn man sich die Tasche in diesem Drang aussucht und bezahlt.
-
UND wenn ich bestimmte Summe für né Tasche zahlen muss, will ich ja auch nicht das jede Fünfte auf der Strasse auch dieselbe Tasche trägt wie ich… Und meistens sind natürlich fakes.
Ja, unser Freund hat vor seiner Ausreise den Laden nochmal besucht und Sachen gekauft, da bei dem ersten Mal mit der Zahlung wegen fehlenden Ausweiß nicht geklappt hat.

j adore la marque. et ma femme aussi. le prix des sacs est correct comparé a d autres marques de luxe et certains modèles sont intemporels. accueil de qualité produit de longue vie sans usure prématurée. rien a voir avec les pauvres imitations vendues en Espagne et prisée par les touristes. très grand magasin de la marque.

Si vous voulez dépenser de l’argent sur une bonne adresse. Service dans l’ordre. Un grand nombre de touristes et beaucoup de paillettes et de glamour.
Très belle boutique.

Une entreprise qui a perdu son âme depuis son rachat par le groupe LVMH.
Parodie du luxe, vigiles donnant l’impression qu’on pénètre dans une boîte de nuit, hordes de touristes fiers d’acheter le «meilleur» de la FRance… Pire qu’Euro-Disney.
Je hais cette industrie de luxe !

Man wird dort in Gruppen hineingelassen! Am Eingang steht Security, die einen aber freundlich begrüßen. Und innen … eine Flut aus Licht und Taschen! Die Schaufenster sind immer aufwendig dekoriert. Auf 2 Etagen findet man Taschen, Gürtel, Schuhe etc. Und an den kleinen Verkaufstischen Männer mit ihren Telefonen wartend auf die Frau.
Ich glaube, mittlerweile ist der riesige Store auch so eine Art Sehenswürdigkeit geworden.

accueil chaleureux et vêtement de luxe a vous faire illuminés les yeux. magasin sur deux étages proposant une vaste gamme de produit pour homme et pour femme. des milliers de touriste ont certainement visiter ce grand magasin de luxe

Vous avez dit boutique de luxe ?
Nous y sommes allés un samedi soir et oh surprise il filtrait les entrées du magasin ce qui engendrait une longue file d’attente. Entrés dans le magasin, nous demandons un article, on nous fait patienter + 15min et en revenant, on nous informe que l’article n’est pas dispo et qu’il n’y a pas de possibilité de réserver. Il faut juste rappeler que je suis enceinte de 7mois½ et qu’à aucun moment, on m’a proposé une chaise pour m’asseoir compte tenu de la longue d’attente. A aucun moment, la vendeuse né s’est excusée de la longue attente, on a eu droit comme explication que le magasin est immense. Bravo LV !

Ich habe eigentlich noch kein Geschäft gesehen, an dem man außen in einer Schlange steht (obwohl uns die Geschichte von solchen Geschäften lehrt). Ich habe dies auf keinen Fall bei diesem Geschäft erwartet … und wir haben uns angestellt, sind hineingegangen, haben uns umgeschaut …
Gut, da gibt es Handtaschen, andere Taschen, auch Koffer, und da steht auch gerne mal das Logo oder der Name drauf. Ja, exklusiv sind die ja schon alle, sehen auch chic aus. Nur mal schauen, das ist ja ok.
Hm, wenn da meine Handtasche nicht schon etwas abgenutzt gewesen wäre, wenn es da auch für die Herren nur keine Handtaschen gegeben hätte … war aber alles so … und … jetzt steht auf meiner neuen Handtasche «Louis Vuitton» drauf, das hätte ich mir, als ich noch vor dem Eingang warten musste, nicht vorgestellt. Und meiner ganzen Familie (die bei mir war) hat die Tasche gefallen … und dann auch mir …
Also, das ist wieder wie beim Kaufen von Eiswein: entweder nimmt man ihn, redet dann nicht mehr drüber, oder mann lässt ihn (und redet dann auch nicht mehr drüber).
Also … langer Rede kurzer Sinn: stellt Euch da mal (nicht so) an, geht da mal rein, schaut Euch mal um … vielleicht ist ja auch mal was dabei … Nehmt aber mal das größere Portemonnaie mit, ja, das, wo vielleicht auch genau dieser Name schon drauf steht, das andere, das etwas größere … meine ich …

Le seul intérêt à venir dans cette boutique, c’est l’espace culturel qui se trouve au dernier étage. C’est un lieu d’expression culturel, tout est bien sur lié à la créativité artistique de la maison.
Il y a trois expos par an portant sur les thèmes du voyage, de l’héritage de la marque, de l’art et de la mode.
Une belle excuse culturelle pour pouvoir ouvrir le dimanche.
Mais en tout cas, l’espace est impressionnant et gratuit!
Faites passer le mot!
Ouvert du lundi au samedi de 12h à 19h et le dimanche de 11h à 19h.

La boutique Louis Vuitton sur les Champs Elysées est bien plus qu’un magasin de luxe, c’est un mythe.
Certains touristes y passent avant même d’avoir vu notre chère tour Eiffel!
Posséder un sac Vuitton est aujourd’hui le fin du fin de l’élégance et le symbole d’appartenir à une certaine classe sociale.
Dans ce magasin, prière de se tenir correctement et d’avoir une tenue décente. On est pas à la foire à la saucisse ! Alors on aime ou on aime pas mais le luxe à la française prend ses lettres de noblesse dans ce type d’endroit et on en est fier quand même !

1800 mètres carrés de luxe entièrement dédiés à la maison Vuitton sur les Champs-​Elysées, s’il-vous-plaît.
Au menu:
De la Bagagerie signée LV évidemment, les lignes prêts-​à porter Homme et Femme signées Marc Jacobs, des chaussures, de l’horlogerie et des lunettes de soleil, etc. Ici c’est le temple du malletier hors de prix.
C’est un musée plus qu’une boutique et vous pourrez flâner gentiment à travers les étages et répondre aux vendeurs «que vous regardez…»
Pour les chanceux qui s’offriront «un p’tit quelque chose», possibilité de faire personnaliser sur place votre maroquinerie de vos initiales.

OK temple du luxe. Pour les inconditionnels de la marque et de ses célèbres sacs. Aussi pour se faire plaisir. Pas de problème, que vous achetiez un article à 100 euros ou à 1000 euros, l’acceuil est toujours classieux. On vous fait attendre, avec un verre de champagne (parce que le produit que je voulais était en réserve.). le plus grand magasin Vuitton de la planète. A visiter aussi même si on né désire rien acheter.

Amazing shop !
L’architecture est magnifique… Belle boutique… Si je viens à avoir les moyens, j’irais qui sait un jour faire des achats chez Louis Vuitton.

Pour les expos temporaires au dernier étage
Passez par la boutique puis au 2e étage, découvrez l’Atrium, incroyable cathédrale chomée de 8 étages. L’ascenseur, expérience artistique et sensorielle vous conduit alors au dernier étage pour découvrir une expo de photos America Cup et profiter un instant de la terrasse pour admirer le point de vue.

La queue dans la rue…
Au delà du rêve de voir presque toute la collection des produits Louis Vuitton, c’est leur adresse la moins agréable malgré la somptuosité des lieux. Boutique née pour créer l’évènement et attirer une clientèle essentiellement de touristes, il n’est pas rare de faire la queue une demi-​heure durant pour accédant à ce temple du luxe, ce qui est quand même un comble compte tenu de leurs tarifs. Le magasin est trop grand et bondé. Pour né pas faire la queue aussi aux caisses, mieux vaut, si on a réussi à entrer, aller payer aux étages mais, là aussi, l’architecture est compliquée pour s’y retrouver.

Une vitrine mondiale sur l’état du luxe
Toutes les tendances sont ici décortiquées, les produits soigneusement analysés pour que leur mise en scèné soit moderne et luxueuse. C’est un itinéraire à faire que de passer d’univers en univers (chaussures, montres, bijoux, maroquinerie, bagages) pour finir dans le patio: un immense puis de lumière d’où surgissent des tiges en plexis comme autant de gouttes d’eau suspendues. On m’a dit que bout à bout, cela représentait 100 km de long… Pensez à voir les expos temporaires du 7e étage: vous découvrirez un point de vue unique sur les Champs-​Élysées, sur Paris, sur le luxe.

I walked into this store with a set item in mind. My SA was informative and helpful when I was selecting the bags and wallets I wanted. They offered drinks such as water, soda, juice and champagne. Who says no to free champagne?
The store is very large and there are so many different levels with a variety of items from watches, shoes, handbags, wallets, sunglasses, etc.
While at the register, my SA was also very helpful when explaining the VAT paperwork and the instructions upon arriving to the airport. I can’t wait until the next time I get a chance to go to Paris again! This will definitely be one of my stops the next time I’m in town!
