Lastnight Tokyo lit up as the very highly-anticipated Louis Vuitton x Comme des Garçons pop - up shop finally opened up to Japan’s elite. LV-goers comprised of Japanese fashion editors and local Japanese celebrities racked up on orders from Louis Vuittons newest collaboration. The pop-up store is located in Japans trendy Aoyama district. WWD reports that the Louis Vuitton x Comme des Garçons pop-up shop’s interior features gray concrete walls as well as an exposed metal staircase. Steel boxed - LV emblazoned fixtures feature Kawakubo’s latest creations, which are tightly mounted into the walls and are also placed around the new temporary store. And while the LV x CDG collection is quite minimal [only six pieces] - that didn’t stop party goers from window shopping - all orders placed last night were collected and placed in a special leather sleeve and patrons were given a voucher. After six to nine months, finished LV x CDG orders are to be picked up at selected Louis Vuitton stores in Japan. ATTENTION TO ALL LV COLLECTORS - if you know someone in Japan - be sure to get the ultimate hookup! Seriously these bags are already collectors items seeing as though they can not be found anywhere else but in Japan. The price ranges start from 78,750 yen, or $726, for a 12-centimeter-tall rectangular bag to 194,250 yen, or $1,790, for the aforementioned duffle.
Since we’re not one of the lucky ones to make a round trip across the pacific we can sit back and check out the views of Wednesday night’s opening event. The Louis Vuitton x Comme des Garçons store officially opens to the general public starting today and will stay open for three months. trashbagaesthetics.com
