After expanding the boutique in the Taj Mahal Palace & Towers Hotel in Mumbai located in the well-off area of Colaba, Louis Vuitton will kick off the new year by inaugurating its second store in the city in the luxurious surroundings of the Taj Land's End complex.

“We are very pleased to announce the opening of our second shop in Mumbai at the beginning of 2010. It will located at Taj Land's End in thr residential area of Bandra and in the heart of the Bollywood movie industry,” said Yves Carcelle, CEO and delegate adviser of Louis Vuitton International.

Louis Vuitton entered the Indian market in 2003 with the opening of a shop in New Delhi. A year later came the first store in Mumbai followed by further inaugurations in 2008 in the DLF Emporium Mall in New Delhi and in UB City in Bangalore.

Just as Louis Vuitton was ahead of the pack when it entered the Chinese retail market in 1992, it is worth taking careful note of this strategic expansion in India which would have been expertly researched and analyzed by Vuitton’s experts.
