Louis Vuitton opens first travel retail store in the Southern Hemisphere at Sydney Airport

Louis Vuitton opens first travel retail store in the Southern Hemisphere at Sydney Airport
Louis Vuitton has opened its first travel retail store in the Southern Hemisphere at Sydney International Airport. 

Lovers of the Maison will be spoilt for choice, with the store offering a broad selection of women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, shoes, leather goods, accessories, watches, jewellery and fragrances.

Louis Vuitton Sydney Airport features the architectural concept first implemented by Peter Marino in Ginza Namiki Dori, Tokyo, Japan. 

Complementing the airport’s environment while creating an energetic and youthful space, the design uses light woods and bright colours.

The façade’s kinetic blade concept, twisted with a combination of bright colours reminiscent of Australia’s stunning sunsets, makes for a bold addition to the airport’s luxury precinct.

Two custom show windows present the latest collections from the Maison, enticing passers by.

Furniture found inside the store is a mix of Louis Vuitton classics and locally crafted pieces by Australian based designers.

Yarrabee by George Hall, a multimedia artist based in Sydney, can be found in the men’s leather goods area and a bright triptych, linked to the façade design, by Melbourne artist Daniel OʻToole adds vibrancy to the women’s lifestyle area. 

Pieces by Tom Fereday are scattered throughout the store. Also included is a table by the Chinese brand Buzao, chairs from Stellar Works and a pair of Steiner’s 740 armchairs, reupholstered with a graphic pattern.
