Louis Vuitton Introduced a New Format for its City Guide Resorts

'City Guide Resorts,' the latest evolution of Louis Vuitton’s renowned travel collection, introduces a compact, illustrated format that reimagines luxury exploration across Capri, Ibiza, Mykonos, and Saint-Tropez.

In addition, visual storytelling is enriched through exclusive artwork by illustrators Charline Collette, Charlotte Molas, Muhammad Fatchurofi, and Virginie Morgand, who interpret each locale with distinct artistic flair.

Moreover, the guides present a curated selection of boutique hotels, dining venues, cultural attractions, and artisan boutiques. To further enhance the experience, a dedicated mobile app for iPhone and iPad provides dynamic updates, photo essays, and insider content—affirming Louis Vuitton’s City Guide Resorts as both an elegant reference and a trusted travel companion.
