Last week, Alykhan Velji and I were invited to the grand opening of the new Louis Vuitton Maison launch party in Vancouver. The redesigned, 10,000 square foot, two level store in Hotel Vancouver is the fourth of its kind in North America. The party was easily one of the finest we have ever attended and is rumoured to have cost LV over a $1 million. We say--worth it!

Gorgeous loafers... perfect stocking stuffers I'd say

Classic LV trunk, perfect for your next overseas adventure or road trip

A crowd of 500 media, shoppers and VIPs attended the lavish event

Pick a bag, any bag. The new store is complete with a 'bag bar.'
Party-goers were next whisked off on a vintage train to the secret location
