Louis Vuitton 57th Street NYC — which opens on Friday for roughly three years as its nearby historic Fifth Avenue flagship undergoes an extensive renovation — boasts a restaurant and bar, a fine chocolate shop, a trio of VIP suites, a collectible capsule collection, and four gobsmacking five-story stacks of trunks in the atrium to rival the Manhattan skyline. Displays of historical memorabilia, walls of books, vintage furniture, artworks galore and many striking installations and murals will be interspersed among the five selling floors, which offer more than double the square footage than the historic Fifth Avenue flagship at the corner of 57th Street, becoming the French brand’s largest outpost in America.

From category to category, there’s an open flow, with the first floor merchandised with leathers, gifts, fragrance, travel, jewelry and a capsule collection of New York City-inspired leather goods, men’s and women’s ready-to-wear, shoes and gifts exclusive to the store. Level two houses the women’s collection; level three houses the men’s collection and specialty trunks such as those specific for watches and sneakers, as well as several whimsical designs including a doghouse trunk, and a billiards table with LV monogramming. Throughout the store, wool and silk area rugs form pads delineating the different categories.

Level four is dedicated to the palate, housing Le Café Louis Vuitton and its concept of ‘luxury snacking’ amid a café-cum-library setting featuring two walls of books. On the same floor as Le Café Louis Vuitton is the first Chocolat Maxime Frédéric in the U.S. The fifth floor features two areas for private selling appointments, one for men, another for women; custom ordering; LV’s Objets Nomads home and the Art de la Table tableware collections. Unique to this floor is a ‘secret’ room in the style of a loft for Vuitton’s high jewelry and haute horlogerie collections.
