Last Wednesday, I headed over to Louis Vuitton’s Global Store at Starhill Gallery in KL for the Summer 2014 press preview. With a section of the store sealed off for us, it was clearly a sight to behold. And true to its jet-set 60s and 70s heme inspired by photographer Slim Aarons, it was a classy, yet laidback and intimate affair, that gave us the vibe of a little afternoon tea get-together at someone’s holiday home in the Hamptons.

Remember her? Model Helena from Asia’s Next Top Model season 1 with the Louise clutch

Model with the tote of the season that sports the Articles de Voyage stamp. The interior is lined with the same tropical print on the model’s dress

The Epi Neverfull (RM 7,000+) comes with a detachable pouch that can double as a wristlet. Don’t you think the bag has a much more youthful vibe, thanks to the cotton candy pink!

Beach-perfect sandals

The Vernis Alma BB and Alma

My favourite Louise clutches, that also come with a long strap for day use! The perfect day-to-night bag. Stay tuned for a post dedicated to this next week! 😉

And yes, the Damier was also given the colourful treatment for Summer!

The Damier document tote which, when folded over, can be clutched in the hand

Love this made-to-order H bag in matte croc

It certainly was a sweet afternoon treat for us indeed, and yes, pun intended! That’s because we also got  to sip champagne and nibble on delectable desserts by Chef Nathalie of Nathalie’s Gourmet Studio, who also took the time to personally serve us and explain each of her creations. And guess what? She says that this is the first time she had worked with so many colours.

The Macaron tower, with Chocolate, Passionfruit, Rose and Lychee, and even Ginger!

Chocolate Cake Pops that were too pretty to eat, but I had them anyway =P!

Kudos to Louis Vuitton for a lovely afternoon well spent! Thanks for having me!
