This is the third branch of Le Chocolat Maxime Frédéric worldwide, joining those already existing within LV Dream in Paris and Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

 

The latest expansion brings the Louis Vuitton stamp, Le Chocolat Maxime Frédéric, to the city of Shanghai.

 

Located in the Taikoo Li Qiantan shopping center, the store arrives just in time for Qixi, which is celebrated in early August of this year.

 

The space represents the pinnacle of sweet luxury, integrating the characteristic codes of the Louis Vuitton house into its confectionery branch.

 

The chocolate shop adopts an interior reminiscent of a tropical garden. Floor-to-ceiling wooden trunk displays line the walls, giving the premises a warm atmosphere.

LV’s flagship mascot, Vivienne, and the pet lion Petula, take center stage to give the space a playful feel.

 

Of course, all the chocolate offerings sold in the store are sealed with the recognizable Louis Vuitton motifs.

 

Each of the products is transported directly from Paris, where quality is guaranteed at the highest level, along with craftsmanship and attention to detail.

 

The chocolate shop is located in a space shaped like a petal monogram in the heart of the shopping center.

 

Chef Frédéric issued a statement regarding the expansion: “We want to be inspired by local culture and lifestyle. In the future, we will definitely offer customized creations for Shanghai, such as for Chinese New Year. It is also important to share the happiness and joy of these exquisite chocolate treats. Because the most important ingredient in a piece of chocolate is love.”

 

Those interested can find the chocolate offerings at prices ranging from $30 to $448.
