Exactly a year ago, Louis Vuitton is the latest to join the Food and Beverages (F&B) industry as it unveiled its venture into a culinary house that featured a Sewelô diamond –the second-largest rough and “rear find” diamond in the world –as part of the company’s portfolio.
For the first time Louis Vuitton’s, a French fashion house has opened its experiential café and restaurant at its Maison or house in Osaka, Japan –Le Café V and Sugalabo V.
Following from last year’s opening, these two branded café and restaurants have featured dishes from framed chef Yosuke Suga, once the protégé of the acclaimed 32-Michelin star-chef Joël Robuchon. Both spots will serve a mixture of Japanese and French fine dining.
LV’s Le Café V is located on the top floor of the store that offers cocktails, a touch of its Nomades collection, and a view of the outdoor terrace for an ideal after the shopping experience.
For LV dinners, there’s a secret entryway going to Sugalabo V. Suga will open its doors to serve limited customers, a restaurant of the same name in Tokyo, which ranked as the 47th best restaurant in the world.
The open kitchen of LV was designed by the world’s authentic furniture designer Tokujin Yoshioka and interior designer Jun Aoki. Yoshioka designed the furniture that would match the cozy ambiance of the earth’s warmth furniture and spaces with a bright complexion. Also, Aoki designed a ship floating on water, a façade of bulge out sails. LV followers and fanatics of the brand come to know more about these resto-bars as it opens now.
This isn’t the first time that a fashioned-label industry forays its culinary houses, customers also note that Gucci for example has its Gucci Osteria, Prada for its pastry shop Pasticceria Marchesi, Tiffany for its Blue Box Café, and Ethan Stowell for its restaurant Wolf –fashion houses that try to separate their luck from its counterparts to give a more complete experience to their consumers worldwide.
