I am sure a lot of you are super excited about the upcoming Kusama collab that is coming from LV that is part of the Cruise collection itself. Here are some teaser pictures I saw on the FT and NYT about the collection:

The launch date is said to be the 5 January 2023 worldwide. This will be a highly coveted collection and I doubt you can walk in and get a lot of the pieces so contact your CA now.

I wanted to share a bunch of quick tips and phrases that you can use when you go luxury shopping in Paris as a tourist. I will be there in 2023 so I will have an updated guide ready but this post can be used in the meantime if you are planning a trip there.

Tips to follow

1. Say hello in French in luxury shops – Just say hello. It goes a long way to being polite. Basically all SAs in Paris speak English and other languages but again it’s polite.
2. Go browsing in department stores – Service is better in flagship boutiques if you are buying. I find that the Parisian department stores are browsing friendly and they don’t expect you to buy so if you want to browse go to department stores.
3. Use common sense – Be safe and use common sense. Don’t take unnecessary risks that you wouldn’t take at home
4. Get your cards approved for huge purchases before travel – Sometimes banks can block big purchases for fraud prevention. Let them know before you travel.
5. Be clear you are purchasing to get good service – Let them know you are here to buy X. It helps to get better service especially at flagships.

I am actually obsessed with Dior’s new Cruise bags. The exotics look very luxurious and there are some beautiful fabric options as well. One of my complaints about Dior is how they constantly change their logos and branding which makes it feel inconsistent and dated sometimes. However, I am liking what I am seeing from Cruise.

Here are some of my favourites:
