Le Louvre to Shut Famous Polished Copper French Doors For Good Next Month
IT will be the end of an era in Collins Street, with exclusive boutique Le Louvre shutting its famous polished copper French doors for good, in January.
The 87-year old retailer is bidding au revoir to the “Paris End” of the city named after it – eight months after its second generation owner Georgina Weir sold the 1855 building to Queensland-based fund manager QIC for $13.1 million.
Le Louvre will relocate to another historic and heritage protected South Yarra building at 2 Daly Street, owned by the Melbourne and Metropolitan Tramways Board since 1927.
