Vuitton and the City
French Luxury Designer Louis Vuitton kicks off the 2011 edition of their renowned City Guide. Perfectly capturing the spirit of cities with words and imagination, inspired writing, a pleasure to read and a feeling of discovery for a unique urban immersion. For ten years now, Louis Vuitton has been sharing its passion for travel and city life! The Louis Vuitton City guide 2011 comes in mini format with maxi info in individual volumes (Berlin, Kyoto and Nara) next to the Europe City box, highlighting seven new destinations. A must have!
Travel in style!
Starting out with a somewhat bold, yet legitimate, bet at the end of the last millennium, Louis Vuitton pushed the art of travelling a bit further. Objective? To unformat the systematic scheme of travel guides and to provide an attentive, informed commentary on changes shaking the heart of cities and voicing off-beat on fashion, arts and gastronomy. Yet also more sensitive to design, each guide highlights the latest trends and offers unique advice. Drawing on the talents of journalists and writers, The Louis Vuitton Guide Collection successfully and daringly combines traditional values with new aspects, traditional locations with extravagant ones, known with unknown and out of the ordinary for the nomadic traveller, businessman or city inhabitants. The latest collection of Louis Vuitton City Guides are opening up new cities: Berlin, Kyoto and Nara, as well as adding fresh perspectives to old favourites:London, Los Angeles, Paris, New York and Tokyo all in individual volumes. Luxury and charming hotels, gourmet restaurants and local bistros, typical markets and delicatessens, antiquarians, designers, museums and fashion shops, essential or little known monuments. The 2011 edition offers the traveller an insider’s guide into the soul of these vibrating cities.
