| Louis Vuitton Louis Vuitton or LV for short is a brand women would kill for. A lady carrying an LV bag would probably send jealous and envious stares from other women around her. Sure their designs are pretty good but when you could possibly be stabbed to death by another jealous women, in my opinion it would not be wise to carry around that LV bag. Not to mention you become a target for any would-be thief. Anyway LV started in 1854 and have never since look back - look back from the billions they make every year that is. The owners are probably laughing all the way to the bank when they see people buying way way overpriced fashion items from their boutiques or at high end shopping malls. I was in Hong Kong the other day and I was shocked to see people queuing in front of the LV store. I mean why don't they just buy it on-line? Their collections include leather products like handbag and wallets, sunglasses and even scarves. Oh by the way, it seems that LV is also very anal about protecting their designs - they are kind of sue-happy even for small infringements. So don't go around making fun of LV, even Britney Spears will not be spared their wrath. |

| Salvatore Ferragamo They started as a small-time shoe maker and have since expanded to become one of the largest luxury goods retailers worldwide. They have designed several iconic shoes which still remains famous till this day. They carry a line of luxury goods like shoes, handbags, wallets, eyewear, timepieces as well as scarfs and fragances. Althought they are famous for their designs, they are also known for their comfortable designs. Very much different from other designers whose only concern is aesthetics. |

| Net-A-Porter I don't know who comes up with such a name, but you would expect this company to be some sort of courier or delivery service. But it is not. It is actually some sort of luxury fashion retailer. They carry many high-end brands but don't they don't have any physcial boutique at all. All businesses are done online. If you are an Internet fiend with truckloads of money to waste, then Net-A-Porter could be a good online shopping experience for you. I mean they sell luxury stuff, so obviously it is going to be fun when you max out your credit card. Furthermore, it is convenient to do your luxury goods shopping at one location instead of having to browse through numerous different websites. They claim to have over 350 luxury brands in their inventory. These includes Chloe, Rick Owens, Lot78, Dion Lee, Marc Jacobs, Burberry, Miu Miu, Stella McCartney, Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Lanvin and Jimmy Choo. I can't afford them, but I am sure there are some who can. |

| Boden USA Now available in the US! Just when you thought that only the Brits has all the best fashion, Boden is now available in the United States. And when we are talking about Boden fashion, it is only available direct through the company and cannot be found anywhere else. So their website and call-in is the only place you can get their style of fashion. They have designs for men, women, children and teenagers. And you should not expect out-of-this-world kind of fashion - they are more of an classic but up-beat design boutique for the younger generation. I like it, but of course I might be just a bit too old for the clothing. In fact, I am too old for anything other than those old men fashion houses. Anyway, they have a new line every season so you should keep a eye out for their new launches if you are into fashion. |
