Occupying two floors, LV The Place Bangkok has an exhibition on the ground floor starting with a Trunkscape, displaying 96 trunks assembled as a tunnel, reflecting the luxury brand’s roots as a trunk-maker.

This is followed by Origins, which chronicles the brand's history through archival documents, detailing early inspirations and iconic monogram designs.

In Iconic Bags, the exhibition celebrates 25 years of fashion history at Louis Vuitton through the lens of five luxury bag models and how it’s designed and interpreted by Maison’s art directors from Marc Jacobs, Kim Jones, Vigil Abloh and Pharrell Williams through the years with 21 bags and two ready-to-wear looks captured in 19 clear acrylic bubbles.
