Louis (pronounced "Louie's") enjoys a well-deserved reputation for offering cutting-edge New York style in a traditional Boston setting. The ultraprestigious store sells designer men's suits, handmade shirts, silk ties, and Italian shoes. The merchandise represents a mix of big names, emerging stars, and the celebrated house label, and the women's fashions are equally elegant. Also on the premises are an "apothecary" department, a full-service salon, and Café Louis, which serves lunch and dinner.
