Deftly defying the Calvinist principles that still rule most of the Netherlands, the southern town of Maastricht has long been a refuge of sorts for those seeking to indulge in the finer things in life, including shopping. Needless to say, the city boasts a number of well-assorted high-end boutiques, and obviously, it’s fertile ground for luxury brands. And now, for the very first time, Louis Vuitton has come to town to pitch in with alluring new offerings of its own. The Paris-based luxury behemoth has set up a pop-up store on the premises of department store de Bijenkorf, showcasing coveted items of its A/W 2023 Men’s Pre-Collection. Situated on the ground floor, the ephemeral space boasts a setting that’s inspired by the desert rally, and offers an expansive selection of Louis Vuitton men’s ready-to-wear, leather goods, accessories, and also fragrances (open through Oct 31). The Louis Vuitton pop-up store is part of a series of ephemeral spaces at the department store, and also includes showcases by luxury peers Gucci and Saint Laurent.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
