Louis Vuitton's latest pop-up experience in Chengdu is a celebration of local culture and a unique journey for its visitors. Prepare to be immersed in a world where fashion, fragrance, and hospitality blend seamlessly with the city's vibrant spirit.
Unveiling Chengdu's Charm
After captivating Shanghai and Beijing, Louis Vuitton has arrived in Chengdu, offering a series of pop-up experiences that go beyond retail. From October 22nd onwards, the brand invites you to explore a world of sensory delights, including a new fragrance launch and a culinary adventure.
A Pop-Up with a Twist
The pop-up, creatively named "Chengdu Chill," transforms Regular Park, an urban oasis, into a hub of cultural activities. From October 22nd to Friday, it takes the form of a book stand, showcasing the new Chengdu City Guide and a selection of Louis Vuitton publications. But here's where it gets intriguing: the pop-up isn't just about shopping; it's an immersive experience.
A Cultural Extravaganza
Imagine sipping tea, learning calligraphy, or attending master chef classes - all within the pop-up space! Guests can secure their spot through the brand's WeChat Mini Program. The opening night was a spectacle, bringing Chengdu's street life to life with traditional bamboo weaving and sugar painting, showcasing the city's unique charm.
Fragrance: A Journey to China
And this is the part most people miss: Louis Vuitton's new fragrance line, "Journey to China," is an olfactory adventure inspired by tea, ink, and the moon. It's an extension of the brand's "Beauty of China" narrative, and it's exclusive to China. Priced at 2,600 renminbi, this trio of fragrances will be launched at the Louis Vuitton Maison store in Taikoo Li Chengdu.
Culinary Delights
A visit to Chengdu isn't complete without indulging in its cuisine, and Louis Vuitton's The Hall understands this perfectly. The restaurant is unveiling a new menu infused with Chengdu's flavors, offering a gastronomic journey.
The Chengdu City Guide
Initially launched two years ago and guest-edited by renowned architect Liu Jiakun, the Chengdu City Guide will release its free digital edition on November 13th. This guide is a must-have for anyone wanting to explore the city's hidden gems.
Louis Vuitton's travel-themed pop-ups have been a hit, starting with "Nóng Hó, Shanghai" in 2023 and followed by "Beijing Fun" last year. Now, it's Chengdu's turn to shine, offering an unforgettable experience.
