Les Journées Particulières: exceptional venues in the United States, Japan, Australia and Brazil

After the whistle-stop tour around France, Italy and Switzerland, Les Journées Particulières continue their journey across the world. For this sixth edition of the event, LVMH Maisons in the United States, Japan, Australia and Brazil are opening their doors to the public. Four destinations, four stories, and four different ways of sharing our savoir-faire in the heart of venues where nature, culture and technique combine to create excellence.

Sephora: enabling beauty to flourish

Founded in France in 1969, Sephora revolutionized the world of beauty by encouraging its clients to freely test products prior to purchase. Today, this experimental mindset is brought to life by the banner’s Beauty Advisors, whose expertise guides each client toward the products and beauty techniques that best suit their needs. In São Paulo, all visits and masterclasses will be accessible giving people who are deaf and hard of hearing the opportunity to learn about beauty techniques and benefit from expert advice. In New York, Sephora Fifth Avenue will also offer special experiences, including personalized consultations at the Skincare Studio, enabling visitors to enhance their knowledge of skincare and rituals.

RIMOWA: one suitcase, several life cycles

In Tokyo, RIMOWA presents Life Cycles, an innovative pop-up event at Ginza Sony Park showcasing its craftsmanship and celebrating aluminum, one of the Maison’s signature materials. The exhibition shines a spotlight on the expertise that extends the life of RIMOWA luggage, and for the first time physically presents the Re-Crafted circularity program. Founded in 1898 and guided by German pared-back design principles, RIMOWA has never ceased to evolve over more than a century to anticipate the aspirations of travelers of the future. Crafted exclusively by the Maison’s own technicians, each piece of luggage epitomizes the perfect fusion between industrial engineering and artisanal excellence.

Chandon Australia: the soul of living terroir

Since 1959, the Maison Chandon has cultivated a pioneering spirit through its five wineries across the four corners of the globe. Nestled in the heart of the Yarra Valley, an hour from Melbourne, where it first took root back in 1986, Chandon Australia invites you to discover its vineyards, cellars and kitchens. Here, Senior Winemaker Loïc Le Calvez orchestrates each vintage with exceptional precision and a deep understanding of the terroir in the Yarra Valley. From Riddling Hall, where the vintages unveil their secrets little by little, he perpetuates and constantly reinvents the art of making exceptional sparkling wines. From the vine to the glass, every vintage tells the story of a plot, the land, the climate, a moment in time. To continue the experience through to the table, Chef Josh Smyth has created a style of cooking rooted in the living world, celebrating local ingredients that naturally resonate with the wine that inspired the dishes themselves.

Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel: Rio in a nutshell

In Rio de Janeiro, Copacabana Palace will offer the public a rare glimpse of its most iconic spaces. From the Fernanda Montenegro Theatre to its legendary salons, a private tour will showcase a place where art, live performance and hospitality have come together as one since 1923. Overlooking the world-famous Copacabana Beach, the palace has hosted Carnival balls, celebrated shows and unforgettable moments, making these spaces a haven for Rio’s intellectual and cultural life. Shaped by the sound of the waves, it also draws an essential part of its identity from Brazilian culture. This influence can be found in the kitchens of its two Michelin-starred restaurants, where seafood, tropical fruits and local produce take center stage. It is also expressed through the work of the artisans who meticulously preserve the hotel’s facade by hand, remaining faithful to its original design.
