Odd that you can buy a knockoff of the latest Louis Vuitton bag just around the corner -- any corner really -- but these are the real deal at the real deal prices. They also have beautiful original antique LV trunks on display in-store, and sometimes in the lobby of the Metropole. Next door is a Cartier Watch boutique. You have arrived, darling.
