This is my favorite LV store of all-time. Although this location (inside Neiman Marcus at Fashion Island in Newport Beach) may not have all the latest styles like the LV shops at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, in Beverly Hills on Rodeo Drive or in Las Vegas, the customer service here is always on point. Just realized I need to add the Paris LV flagship location to my bookmark list :)
Louis Vuitton is perhaps considered one of the most legendary luxury travel brands in the history of travel. Because I travel quite a bit for work and I love to travel, owning an LV had always been on my wishlist for years. I didn't grow up rich - in fact, my parents were immigrants who simply instilled a hard work ethic in me at a very young age. No inheritance. No assistance. No sugar daddy. No handouts. No favors. Straight hustle. Straight dedication. Straight focus. Straight ambition. Straight f'n hard work.
I'd always wanted to invest in a piece(s) from LV - but I always told myself that I wanted to work for it; I wanted to "earn it" myself because it would make me appreciate it more. I've purchased a few pieces and couldn't be more pleased with them. Don't get me wrong or anything, I'll happily and gladly accept LV pieces as gifts - birthday, Christmas, or "just because" *wink* ;)
I called LV to make an appointment at this location and was informed that appointments can only be made online. They were booked solid for the next two weeks but the lady on the phone suggested that I go straight to the store as a "walk-in" customer. She was polite, helpful and professional.
So I stopped by this location today, January 20, 2021 mid-afternoon. There was no one in line. However, I did have to wait about 5 minutes because the store had reached capacity. The host was professional, conversational and friendly. I let him know I was there to drop off a repair order on my LV travel luggage. He looked at my bag, smiled and was like, "wow, you must travel a lot." Haha, I wonder if he was trying to imply I treat my LV like sh!t. LOL. I just replied and smiled back, "I'm just well-traveled." :D
Before entering this store, you will be required to sanitize your hands. There's a hand sanitizer at the entrance inside of Neiman Marcus. Masks are required due to the COVID.
I was surprised to read a few of the recent negative Yelp reviews because what I love most about this location is that LV client service advisors like Cole and Icesys are always so helpful, attentive, patient and professional. I just wish they offered a bigger selection of the LV collection here.
Overall, I've always had great experiences at this Louis Vuitton. If you're ever considering an LV purchase, I highly recommend checking out this location. read more
