Louis Vuitton plans bigger India stores

French luxury brand Louis Vuitton will open bigger stores in India to expand its business there.

Louis Vuitton now has five stores in the country since it debuted there a decade ago.

It says it witnessed double digit growth for the past years. However, its pace of expansion has been slow due to lack of high street locations.

It recently announced that it is shutting down its store at Bergamo Mall in Chennai and will merge its operation there with the Louis Vuitton Bangalore store.

“As a valued client, I am writing to inform you that the Louis Vuitton Chennai store will merge its operations with the Louis Vuitton Bangalore store,” said Marko Jovanovic, country manager, Louis Vuitton India, in a letter.

The brand also plans to introduce its exclusive Haute Maroquinerie service, which allows customers to customise bags, in India. The service is currently available only in 15 global stores.
