August 27 2010: Louis Vuitton’s holiday windows worldwide will have an Indian flavor this year. Starting November 5, displays will pay tribute to Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, an ancient and joyous occasion to light oil lamps, wear new clothes and distribute sweets.
The French luxury brand’s ties to India stretch back almost a century. Vuitton teamed with Indian artist Rajeev Sethi to conceive the windows, which will feature hand-painted paper trunks glowing from within. Special products will include limited edition dresses made of vintage sari fabrics.
