LVMH brings Les Journées Particulières to 40 new sites this fall

French conglomerate LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton is inviting consumers to explore its houses through a global open house at 77 locations across five continents.

Among the sites added for the 2018 edition of the event are Les Fontaines Parfumées in Grasse, France and Louis Vuitton’s prototype workshop in Asnières, France. With a greater digital push ahead of the fourth open house, LVMH is launching a podcast that will center on the passion of its artisans.

Behind the scenes

LVMH is allowing consumers to register for an account on its Les Journées Particulières Web site to more easily book priority access tickets on Sept. 22 and 25.

During the event on Oct. 12 to 14, consumers will be able to visit locations such as the Christian Dior Couture ateliers and the Chaumet salons, getting a firsthand look behind the scenes of 56 of LVMH’s houses.

For this year’s event, 23 of LVMH’s brands are taking part for the first time, including the T Fondaco dei Tedeschi by DFS in Venice and Rimowa.

In support of Les Journées Particulières, LVMH launched a multichannel advertising campaign that plays on the idea of inviting consumers behind-the-scenes. Spanning print, display and digital, the effort will also allow consumers to follow the event through social media and newsletters, which consumers can sign up for starting June 21 (see story).

On Sept. 17, the group will launch its “Confidences Particulières” podcast. In the 13 episodes, journalist Julien Cernobori talks to craftsmen that work in fields including winemaking, shoemaking, makeup artistry and more about their skills, passion and inspirations.
