A new archival Louis Vuitton exhibition retraces the journey of the luxury French Maison. Held in an appropriately exceptional venue, the Grand Palais, “Volez, Voguez, Voyagez exhibition is showcasing an epic journey that all started in 1854.

The Grand Palais in Paris was built in 1900 for the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1900 and included a “Travel & Leather Goods” section, overseen by none other than Georges Vuitton. The Maison showcased the contemporary elegance of luggage and bags at an attention-grabbing booth in the form of a merry-go-round.

The exhibition presents the multitude aspects of travel that have always inspired the House. Visitors are plunged into the history of the trunk-maker as they embark on a thematic journey in nine chapters designed by Robert Carsen. Olivier Saillard, Director of the Paris Fashion Museum and curator of the exhibition, delved deep into Louis Vuitton’s heritage collection and archives to select the unique objects and documents displayed.

Louis Vuitton has always been at the avant-garde of creativity. Over a century after the first Universal Exhibition, our Maison remains at the forefront of fashion precisely because we continue to draw inspiration from our heritage while anticipating future trends,” notes Michael Burke, CEO of Louis Vuitton.

  • The time to transform you jewelry collection is now. Let’s see how you can keep building a timeless treasure box.

Jewelry is forever and it always fits. The spectacular rise of collecting culture in the jewelry and watch segment gave birth to some serious collections. These collections can be enriched with The Opulent Box service, the world’s most expensive luxury jewelry subscription box and one of the best services to date for those wanting that extra layer of exclusivity.

The service features authentic, rare luxury jewelry from the world’s most praised jewelry Maisons. Before being included in the Opulent Jewelers’ offer, the luxury items have to clear the rigorous standards of the brand’s team of experts.

The goal is also to save you time by doing an expert research and documentation, as well as to save you money. Most of the jewelry items included in the $100,000 USD (paid quarterly) subscription are very rare, would cost much more when purchased individually or are not available in the stores anymore. The box celebrating the shining stars of the art of gems will include some of the most popular and recognizable pieces of jewelry in the world like the exquisite diamond necklace from Van Cleef & Arpels, Chopard Happy Diamonds, Cartier Love Bracelet, Gucci Necklaces, Chanel Camelia ring, or the Bulgari Ballerina Diamond Engagement ring in platinum.

A style survey will unveil your favorite brands, precious stones, designers, styles, colors, and special requests in search for the ultimate jewelry trophies for your family collection. Once you have joined the club you can collect your jewelry and garner admiring glances for years to come. Nothing equals the intrigue behind opening the weirdly hypnotizing box. It comes with appraisals, certificates of authenticity and a few extra stupefying goodies. With an easy return service, the concierge can make the exchange process quick and gracious. 100% authentic, the jewelry will only increase in value over time.

Keep in mind that hard to find exquisite jewelry pieces will continue to shine for decades to come.
A smile and an Eternity ring are the prettiest things you can wear!
