When Louis Vuitton first announced the launch of its eastward-commerce in Singapore in early October, our initial reaction, admittedly, was 1 of cynicism.

Singapore has joined the ranks of just 25 countries worldwide where Louis Vuitton'south e-commerce is bachelor – and information technology features same-solar day delivery.

Why would anyone want (or need) a pocketbook, or a pair of shoes, or a slice of wrist processed delivered when they can simply saunter into whatever one of Vuitton'south five boutiques in Singapore to choice upwardly the merch?

Mind you, we say this as large fans of e-commerce – our credit card statements and PayPal accounts will attest.

But information technology didn't have long for us to realise the appeal of such a service. The thought of non having to find a parking space. Of not needing to jostle with the oversupply (hello, Ngee Ann City on a Friday evening). Of non spending any endeavor to get dressed, made upwards and interact with other humans.

And and so there's the queue to go into those five boutiques.

Not all items available in-store are available online, however. High value wares such every bit high jewellery and furniture are off the listing, for obvious reasons. (The well-nigh expensive matter you can purchase at the moment is a pinkish gilt-and-diamonds sautoir worth S$64,000). But you can easily click on prepare-to-wear items, leather appurtenances, shoes, accessories like watches and fine jewellery, baggage and fragrances to add to your cart.

For aforementioned-day deliveries, the caveat is that you must place your orders before 12pm. Your purchase will then be delivered betwixt 4pm to 9pm. For next-24-hour interval deliveries, orders must exist placed earlier 5pm the solar day prior.

Say Saturday rolls around and you need a new outfit for a night out on the boondocks. Place your orders while you lot are at brunch and information technology can be dropped off in time for y'all to shimmy into a new ensemble.

Or say you accept forgotten your other half's birthday and demand a souvenir urgently. You tin salve yourself a whole lot of explaining, every bit long equally you remember to order before noon. You tin even customise the gift to brand it extra special, and seem like you went the actress mile.

The French luxury brand is offer costless personalisation services: Hot stamping or engraving. With the former, yous tin can postage up to three letters on items like luggage tags, small-scale leather goods or agendas. With the latter, you can engrave a ready of initials or a date onto a Les Parfums bottle – handy when it comes to commemorating a special occasion.
