While all the other brands are busying to set up more shops in China, Louis Vuitton Hangzhou store (Hangzhou Tower) was just closed last Friday after a spot check of local industry and commerce authority, reported by Today Morning Express (a local newspaper).

Now in front of the closed LV Hangzhou Boutique

Before LV Hangzhou boutique was closed...

No more display in the windows, non more products in the store. LV logo was carefully covered by a blank paper. Located in the high-end shopping centre of Hangzhou, LV Hangzhou is listed in the best three retail sales in China, including Shanghai & Beijing. A such huge change is unexpected by everyone.

From the side of LV China, Ms. Zhao Xiaojing, director of communications for LV China, explained that the problem was caused by lack of a small piece of leather sample dedicated for each leather goods of LV, which is usually attached to the product as a material mark in China. “As all our leather accessories are produced in France, the mark is not required by regulations there,” Zhao said.

From the other side of AIC Hangzhou, the officer claimed that some of the boutique’s products did not measure up to standards and they seized the disqualified products. He didn’t reveal any further information, saying the details would be released after the case was concluded.

The store is closed for now that is probable because of impossibility of stock transferring in a short time, rather that is under the order of the authority.

From the side of LV’s cher clients, demands of returning and charge back were put forward by several royal clients… And the most important for clients is to keep them informed with detail.
