appalling speech about LV

Sunday, March 8, 2009 [7:25 AM]

It was a placid and cooling afternoon. I was surfing facebook when I came across the fangroup of this irresistable & dainty designer label - LV.

It is unanimously agreed that owning a LV bag or wallet is voluptuous. It enthralls everyone with its exquisiteness and makes us spend thousands to buy them of our own volition. (if you notice someone prominently emaciated and owns a new LV bag out of a sudden you should know how many times he or she has fainted!) I believe this fever will never deaden and the absurd caprice of turning away from it will never occur.

For me, I personally feel that owning a designer label product is not for its usability or utility at all. It is a piece of iconography used to express individual identity. And most of all, it's PRETTY. I would also like to institute an awareness that people should stop pursuing these products blindly! Apparently this is a game for the riches, and no glamour can conceal the fact that you skipped lunch for half a year just to own a branded product.

OK so i was at this fangroup, and a post alluding to lessons on LV whetted me. Initially I thought I would gain something beneficial from the post, because it was stated 'lessons', but to my dismay it was nothing more than a 2 cents worth article pervaded with nonsensical racism and imbalance judgements which brought tumultuous effects among the readers.

Why is it that so-called fans of Louis Vuitton can't actually pronounce his name and know little or nothing of the Vuitton Heritage, so they call the label "LV"? They don't even realise Louis is long dead!

In my opinion, if you can't pronounce the name and don't know the history and heritage of the products, you really shouldn't be sporting this line of baggage and accessories.

Sorry fans, but Vuitton has a certain class and sophistication about the label dating back a long time and it has a certain chic about it.

Too many young things (especially the Asian Market) who buy their bags don't know a thing about the label. One really needs Class to carry off this line.

It's like wearing a Rolex or Longines watch, or Chanel or Dior or Gucci, in fact, any great designer label for that matter. So come on fans, at least learn a little about the heritage of this brand or learn how to pronounce the name correctly instead of "LV" before you are seen flashing your bags in public!

My sister and I have been collecting Vuitton luggage and accessories since 1985. She still does, but I don't. Owning Vuitton has become so common, that anyone in the world with a bit of new money can afford to buy these products (genuine or replica), but yet have no class, manners, personality nor education; but money cannot buy class, unfortunately.

I used to work for Vuitton in Sydney a few years ago where knowing Japanese language was an essential part of employment and I still have friends who work there. I now work in an environment that features permanent in-house Vuitton displays for their city salon and I'm surrounded by their ever changing display of products on a weekly basis.

Most of the Asian clients I meet own Vuitton or some other major designer bag or accessory; but they are new money, extremely rude, have very poor manners, no education and a very common outlook - but they have a lot of money to throw around.

It's not about knowing their products, but about the heritage and history (featured in movies through the years/ celebrity advertising/artwork/etc) and how to behave professionally when sporting a prestige designer label.

so you're trying to say only westerners like u deserve to own LV? i mean c'mon u r not selling LV. u r not LV himself. wat right do u have to make remarks on asians on the perspective of LV?

i have to admit tat LV is a great designer and buyers definitely need to have some 'class' to own them. look at the price!! i admit i know little of him because i'm not in the fashion industry. BUT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE DESIGNER IN ORDER TO BUY THEIR GOODS!!! IF THAT'S SO ALL THE BRANDED LABELS ARE SO NOT GONNA SELL THEIR GOODS CUZ EVERYONE NEEDS TO STUDY AT LEAST 1 YEAR ABOUT THE DESIGNERS BEFORE OWNING THEM!! AND DO ALL THE WHITES WHO CARRY LV KNOW ABOUT LV?!!!

i'm from asia and all of us here carry LV. WE CAN AFFORD!! WE LIKE CALLING IT LV. THEY ARE WILLING TO SELL US! SO SHUT UP AND GO HOP AROUND WITH THE KANGEROOS DOWN UNDER! MORON!!

oh ya u keep mentioning about the 'young things'..

u'll never understand the 'young things' cuz you're an old FAGGOT! you'll never get your youth no matter how many LV bags u carry or how much you know about LV. no wonder u're so interested in the history of LV. BACAUSE YOU YOURSELF ARE GONNA BECOME A HISTORY SOON. OLD THING!

i suggest u go for botox on both your face and ass.. cuz your ass is sagging.

and i tink u're a gay.
