French luxury brand Louis Vuitton opens its first store at Hamad International Airport, in partnership with Qatar Duty Free. The alluring and elegant store is located alongside the renowned Lamp Bear feature at the South Node Plaza, and features a towering replica of the Maison’s renowned mascot Vivienne.
“What we’ve delivered is a team effort between the Qatar Duty Free team, the Hamad International Airport team and Louis Vuitton,” Qatar Duty Free Vice President Thabet Musleh said. “It’s something spectacular and it’s something that I’ve never seen before. We’ve worked on it for a very long time and to see it come to fruition is quite exciting.
“I’d like our customers to come in and be the judge. But I think it’s spectacular. It portrays the brand very well and it portrays Qatar Duty Free very well. It has a very warm feeling. The luxury feeling is great.”
The store offers a full range of leather goods, ready-to-wear, textiles, watches, jewellery, accessories, fragrances and shoes, for men and women. Louis Vuitton said that the store highlights the Maison’s continued focus on travel.
The great French brand has steadily increased its airport retail footprint in recent years, both within international and domestic terminals.
