A reader sent us a tip and some super-good intell that soon-to-be-reborn Santa Monica Place will have its very own Louis Vuitton boutique. Fancy! We know there's been some grumbling about the development: namely, that it will be so high-end as to change, or at least not mesh with, the culture of the area. But with the Ed Hardy shop just a few doors down, it all balances out, right? [City of Santa Monica City Planning]
