Oh seriously, what are you talking about?! To those who labelled LV 'tacky'- have you ever visited a store? I hope you're aware that it's one of the most prestigious luggage brands? LV was founded in 1846 and my family are collectors of the luggage. We have the entire set of suitcases, hat boxes and chests and trunks. For example, one of our chests, from 1890, is now worth over £70,000. They are still made to that exact specification.
Now, I'm explaining, because some of you don't seem to understand. The fact that LV is used by Royalty (the car that Princess Diana died in contained numerous items, and Zara was wearing top to toe LV including monogram bag at the Pop Idol thing the other night), Arab Billionnaires and celebrities alike proves that you cannot purchase anything beter. This goes for anything by a major designer.
At an average cost of £400 per handbag, I'm sure you'd all use it if you could afford those prices.
I have 45 Louis Vuitton items, and they are exquisite. I have the crocodile monogram which cost nearly £2000.
Try and be a little cultured. If you don't understand something please don't comment.
I hope you're aware that everything in this sector of the market has ben imitated by fakes. Be it diamonds, clothing, watches. The list goes on.
To the original poster- get one. I live in London and went to Stowe School. Everyone had one. They look awesome. Declarations of wealth always look good.
