Louis Vuitton has announced that it’s opening the brand’s first-ever cafe and restaurant next month at its Osaka flagship store.
Le Café V will be located on the top floor of Vuitton’s new four-level Osaka Maison and will include a menu designed by acclaimed Japanese chef Yosuke Suga.
Michael Burke, chairman, and chief executive officer of Vuitton, confirmed the development and hinted that more restaurants and even hotels could be in the pipeline for the brand.
Louis Vuitton’s London Maison reopened on October 24th at 17-20 New Bond Street. The store underwent months of renovations to reveal a complete reimagining of the space, featuring a sweeping double helix-shaped staircase crafted in cerused oak and worked as a sculpture with an offset center.
Nine important artworks are featured throughout the store in addition to a permanent selection of Objets Nomades, the collection of designer travel and home-related objects that launched in 2012, keeping alive Louis Vuitton’s long tradition of beautifully crafted travel-inspired objects.
