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.
