Hermes, meet Louis Vuitton.

Hermes: Louis, what’s with those shattered storefront windows? Tsk-tsk.

Vuitton: Welcome to Chicago, my storefront guy’s on speed-dial. Let me introduce you to my friends here, Dior, Gucci, and Bottega Veneta; they’ve got same guy on speed-dial too. We’re all steady customers, you’ll be too.

Not shown behind the front glass doors are security doors that look like a bank vault. Same with the side door. I’m guessing the windows are also security windows.
