Travel is never just about departure and arrival; it is an experience and philosophy of time, taste, and aesthetics. Louis Vuitton, a fashion house founded in 1854 as a trunk maker, has defined the benchmark of luxury travel through over 160 years of trunk craftsmanship. With its workshop culture at the core, it has created countless classics and legends.
In 2025, the new “Savoir Rêver” Exhibition echoes the brand’s travel spirit, transforming into a 19th-century Paris train station.
The French term “Savoir Rêver” means “to know how to dream,” supporting Louis Vuitton’s brand belief—only by truly understanding dreams can they be realized through handcraft. This exhibition brings together the brand’s full spectrum of craftsmanship, design, art, and culture, from classic trunks and rare leather bags to the Asia-debuting Home Collection, Objets Nomades lifestyle art pieces, Les Petits Nomades home decor series, and the latest high jewelry and watches, creating a flowing dream palace.
The 2025 “Savoir Rêver” Exhibition is divided into several zones. First, in the “Setting Sail” area, you can experience the deck of a cruise ship, featuring rare leather women’s bags, haute couture gowns, classic high jewelry collections, Objets Nomades lifestyle furniture, and various women’s trunks. Next, the “Refined Craftsmanship” area showcases the brand’s technical skills, with artisans from the Asnières workshop demonstrating trunk-making on-site, alongside Murakami’s cherry blossom-patterned trunk and the Asia-debuting Home Collection from Milan Furniture Fair.
Additionally, the “Pharrell Train” area, curated by Men’s Artistic Director Pharrell Williams, features a mysterious midnight blue design, including previews of the 2025 Fall/Winter men’s collection, custom Rarex series, rare leather men’s bags, Malle Sake sake trunk, and Malle Ceremonie Matcha tea ceremony trunk.
The final “High Jewelry & Watches” zone is inspired by the luxurious Orient Express, presenting jewelry and watch art pieces as scenic highlights of the journey.
