Louis Vuitton is one of the world’s leading luxury brands and fashion companies that offers expensive leather goods, handbags, trunks, shoes, watches, jewelry, and accessories. They have many shops worldwide, with about 129 Louis Vuitton stores in the U.S. You can also shop for leather goods, accessories, and ready-to-wear online through their official website and affiliated stores. You can pay in cash or using credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay with a valid United States or Canada billing address. They accept Visa, American Express, and Mastercard. 

Louis Vuitton doesn’t accept Klarna as a payment option. However, since it accepts Apple Pay, you can simply link your Klarna to your Apple Wallet and pay for your purchase. But, don’t get confused with Klarna finance and Klarna banking. Klarna banking is a consumer bank account available in Germany, which comes with a Visa debit card. Thus, you can use this visa card to pay for your Louis Vuitton purchase. To make payment with Louis Vuitton store: 

Step 1: Shop at any Louis Vuitton store. Present your visa debit card at the counter just like any other visa card. In online store, all you must do is type in the card information such as card number, card expiration date, CVV and billing address upon check out. 

Step 2: Make sure you are the cardholder, and your billing address must be the same on your card information when doing it online. Otherwise, your order will not push through. 

Step 3: Now you are ready to go with your dream luxury item.

Can you use Klarna to buy Louis Vuitton?

In most Louis Vuitton stores worldwide, they don’t accept Klarna as a payment option, nor do they accept installments. Since Klarna only does a soft credit check, they only offer a small loan amount that wouldn’t be sufficient to pay for a Louis Vuitton item. The only way you can buy a Louis Vuitton is to pay in cash, visa or debit cards, or Apple pay. However, there are countries where Klarna issued a physical card, which you can use to purchase luxury brands like Louis Vuitton.

In Germany, Klarna launched its first consumer bank that aims to provide consumers more control of their finances. A customer can request a physical visa debit card that you can use to purchase anywhere that accepts visa cards. Since Louis Vuitton accepts visa cards, you can use Klarna to pay for your purchases using your Klarna issued debit card.

Does Louis Vuitton accept Klarna financing?

No, Louis Vuitton does not offer a Klarna financing plan or any kind of installment plan. The only payment options that accept are debit cards, credit cards, PayPal, and Apple pay. However, you can have a financing option through shopping in a third-party Louis Vuitton retailer or department stores such as 24S, Luxe Designer House, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue. Some of them accept Klarna as a payment option, specifically Bloomingdale, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue. They accept Buy-now-pay-later plans with Klarna right on their checkout page. 

Does Louis Vuitton accept payment plans?

Yes, but that is only through partner retailers, department stores, and Quadpay, who is a direct competitor of Klarna. You can check with affiliated retailers and department stores whether they accept payment plans, which they usually offer. Some offer to pay in four or pay up to 30 days. You can always check with the partnering store about their financing plans, policy, and guidelines on how to avail of these plans.

We know that Louis Vuitton is remarkably an expensive brand, an aspirational brand that not all has the outright ability to afford them. Louis Vuitton seems to be elusive to financing, maybe because they want to preserve its exclusive image. It’s what compels the fashion industry forward anyway. Therefore, brands like Louis Vuitton, want to keep it that way.
