Staying true to its heritage, Louis Vuitton embraces the spirit of travel and embarks on an adventure this September. For the first time ever in over thirty years since its establishment in Malaysia, Louis Vuitton is stepping out of Kuala Lumpur and heading to the World Heritage Site of Georgetown, Penang for a pop-up happening at Seven Terraces hotel from 8-12 September 2016.

To celebrate this exciting new journey, Buro 24/7 Malaysia shot Friend of Buro, Jane Chuck decked head to toe in Louis Vuitton AW16. Jane carries key leather goods such as the Petite Malle and the Twist bag, both of which will be on display at Seven Terraces, amongst other key pieces from the latest collection. Also available, are men's leather goods and accessories, alongside the newly launched Rolling Luggage designed by Marc Newson. Lightweight and thoroughly modern, the Rolling Luggage is a must-have for the discerning traveller, travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Penang and beyond.

"Penang is an exciting direction for Louis Vuitton in Malaysia," says Laurent Barrere, Louis Vuitton General Manager Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
