As a loyal Louis Vuitton customer and a frequent visitor of the American Dream Mall location, I was extremely disappointed by the treatment I received during my most recent visit. A few days earlier, I had purchased a passport cover from this location. At the time, I was dressed well, and as usual, I was greeted warmly by the staff.
However, when I returned to the store to have the item hot-stamped (as it was a gift and I was traveling the next day), I was dressed more casually — and the difference in how I was treated was unmistakable. I’m an African American woman, and unfortunately, I couldn’t help but feel that this shift in treatment was directly tied to how I looked that day.
I walked in with my Louis Vuitton shopping bag, stood at the counter for several minutes, and wasn’t greeted at all. Eventually, an associate named Angela approached me, and the first thing she said — before even saying hello — was, “What are you returning?” I was taken aback. Not only was I not there to return anything, but I was also clearly holding a new item I had purchased days before. I firmly let her know that I was there to have the item hot-stamped.
She called over a man named Stanley, who brusquely informed me that the store was closing in 20 minutes and it takes 45 minutes to warm up the stamping machine — therefore, they wouldn’t be able to help me. I asked who he was, as I had never seen him before, and he sharply responded, “I’m the manager.” When I asked if he was new, he rudely replied “No,” and still refused to assist me, even though I explained it was a time-sensitive gift.
For context, I recently went to the Louis Vuitton store at Short Hills, and they had no problem hot-stamping my item in 15 minutes. So clearly, it can be done — when there’s willingness and respect.
It’s incredibly disheartening that after spending so much money with the brand — and wearing so much Louis Vuitton that I even named my dog “Louie” — I was treated like this. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. And frankly, there was a complete lack of courtesy and respect during this interaction.
You should never judge a book by its cover. People shouldn’t have to “look the part” to be treated with basic decency. Everyone who walks through those doors should be treated with respect — regardless of race, appearance, or attire.
Because of this experience, I haven’t returned to the American Dream location — and honestly, I’m deeply disappointed in the brand overall. Louis Vuitton should do better

I always have a great experience at this LV location. A.R. is incredibly kind and insightful, he will always go above and beyond to meet your expectations. I was able to get a few unicorn pieces from the LV x TM super limited collection at this store with his help 💕✨

I will never spend a DOLLAR IN THIS STORE as I was walking around smelling some new cologne I asked for a sample of a new one I wanted a friend to smell, then someone named Vanessa came out the back and came straight to me and said CAN I HELP YOU CAN I HELP YOU, loud and sarcastically then proceeded to tell me they only give out samples with PURCHASE 😂🤣 it’s just sad this only happened because we were going to the indoor waterpark so we had very little with us and must have not “ LOOKED THE PART “ per say WAS a customer of the brand for myself and fiancé but would never spend a dollar at this location. Obviously extremely poor management!!!!
