What is so special about these Louis Vuitton bags?

Honestly?

It's good quality, I agree, but I'm sure there are bags of same quality and cheaper. I guess one could say it looks nice as well, however one cannot say this brownish pattern is particularly original.

To my eyes, the only reason why someone would buy Vuitton stuff is snobbery. I don't know if the Vuitton buyer thinks: "I'm gonna show I'm a person of taste" or "I'm gonna show I can afford luxury accessories". But hey, after all, if they want to spend shitloads of money for a bag in order to show off, it's not my problem.

But it turns ironic when LVMH, the company owning Louis Vuitton, considers itself as the victim of its own success. Well yeah, now, something unacceptable to the brand, all the rubbish people want to have a brownish Vuitton bag!

When seeing its image of luxury product destroyed by these cheap girls, Vuitton struck back by suing all the music videos featuring their bags (such as Britney Spears' for example) Yeah, looks like, for the brand, luxury must absolutely not look affordable to those who are not part of the elite!

Anyway, that is not that bad. The worst is when LVMH sues a Darfur organisation.

I have to be careful when using these pictures, I could be sued too... But by FilmMagic and WireImage.
