Louis Vuitton Marks a Major Moment in the PH With Website Launch and Pop-Up
Louis Vuitton is having a particularly active moment in the Philippines: This week, the French maison not only launched its dedicated Philippine website, but is also hosting an exclusive collection pop-up in the Ed Calma-designed Elan by the Bay featuring several of its newest global launches across fashion, leather collections, travel, and jewelry. The pop-up is open to the public (by appointment) until May 30.
The presentation functions almost like an expanded Louis Vuitton boutique experience, bringing together categories and pieces not often seen simultaneously in Manila. On display are the house’s Resort 2026 Collection, the Men’s Pre-Fall 2026 Collection, the increasingly visible Speedy P9 line, Objets Nomades, their most recent furniture line, stunning exotic leather handbags, hard-sided travel pieces, and a selection of high jewelry and fine jewelry creations.
The centerpiece was Louis Vuitton’s Resort 2026 Collection, a wardrobe built around the idea of modern summer travel. The collection moves fluidly between Riviera dressing, surf references, and relaxed tailoring, combining tie-dye treatments, washed denim, silk prints, and lightweight silhouettes with the house’s more polished codes. Several pieces stood out immediately, including the woven-rattan Capucines, the vintage-inspired Speedy LV Stamp, and the Bag-Alow, a California-inflected carryall that leans into the season’s more casual mood. Accessories followed suit, from colorful jewelry and scarves and Monogram sunglasses to the updated LV Sneakerina.
Also presented was the Men’s Pre-Fall 2026 collection by Men’s Creative Director Pharrell Williams. Photographed in New York’s Central Park and fronted by House ambassador Tyshawn Jones, the collection explores the tension between tailoring and streetwear through patchwork denim, softened workwear, knitwear, and reinterpretations of Monogram and Damier motifs.
Another major focus was the Speedy P9, Pharrell Williams’ reworking of one of Louis Vuitton’s most recognizable bags, including a display of tools and materials that go into every bag’s creation. Crafted in supple calfskin and positioned as a softer evolution of the original Speedy, the P9 has quickly become one of the house’s most discussed recent launches, supported by campaigns featuring LeBron James, Jude Bellingham, Future, and Jackson Wang.
