Shinsegae Duty Free to house Louis Vuitton

[THE INVESTOR] Shinsegae Duty Free store has succeeded in bringing in Louis Vuitton, one of the most coveted luxury brands, according to industry sources on Aug. 12.

“Louis Vuitton will open a boutique in Shinseage Duty Free’s fashion luxury zone in April 2017,” said a company official following negotiations with the Louis Vuitton Moet Hennesy Group. 

This is the second Louis Vuitton store slated to open at a downtown duty-free store recently granted license. Along with Chanel and Hermes, the French brand has been sought after by all the duty-free stores but only Shilla’s I’Park branch could succeed in inking a deal.
