We Bumped Shoulders with Real Housewives and Exotic Bags at the First Louis Vuitton Pop-Up & Poolside Takeover

If you were to tell me I’d be hanging out with the cast of the Real Housewives of Miami a couple of weeks ago, I wouldn’t have believed you. While I didn’t necessarily hang out with them, I merely stood adjacent to their proximity, and Vlad accidentally bumped into Alexia.

The event that brought Vlad and me together with an assortment of celebrities (like Tyler Cameron of The Bachelorette fame), Louis Vuitton VIPs, members of the MM club, press, and influencers was the very snazzy Louis Vuitton Pop-Up & Poolside Takeover at CASA NEOS in Miami.

The Venue

While takeovers of this sort seem to fill our feeds, the majority are happening in Europe and other locales, and this was the first takeover of its kind in the US for Louis Vuitton. CASA NEOS is Miami’s newest member-only beach club, sitting on the waterway with boat access, and we were there for its dual unveiling as well.

Different elements of Louis Vuitton’s Resort ‘By The Pool’ collection brought the space to life. The iconic LV flower monogram motif in fuchsia and orange enveloped the pool cabanas, the pool itself, the dock, and the terraces. The beachy vibe was complete with oversized seashell monograms to give a coastal twist, too.

The Bags

As for the bags, we’ve previously covered the By The Pool collection, allowing for a closer look. For this special pop-up, there are ample exotics that you don’t always see in the store, so we were sure to share them here.

Take a moment for the beautiful exotics, because I’ve always found Louis Vuitton exotics quite special. There is also a bag exclusive to the pop-up, an OnTheGo Miami Bag, which combines natural raffia with yellow leather for a tropical vibe.

The capsule collection includes leather goods, ready-to-wear, travel, and fun lifestyle items, from tableware to surfboards. Now, Louis Vuttion has me thinking I need a branded surfboard hung on a wall in my house.

The pop-up closes July 14th and is only available to members of the MM Club at CASA NEOS. However, the Louis Vuitton ‘By The Pool’ collection can be seen at your local LV boutique.
