Yellow Rose of Texas: It's actually red and from L.A.

I will never get the LV bag thing,even my wife thinks they are ugly,Chanel,Fendi but no LV.

The chinese love them though,oddly enough as reps come from China,go into a LV shop here,Hawaii,Vegas...nothing but chinese women,all of the store.

Whats up with that,Posh?...they do make one tacky bag,looks like its made out of a garbage bag,and you only find chinese women in the stores buying them,you are chinese i assume...

I admire Louis Vuitton: the man, the brand and the company. I am very familiar with their history and have read just about every book written about the company that has come out. What happens now, which is what they want ultimately, is that I align myself with the values of the brand. I am very big on travel and exploring the world around you, something they've emphasized with recent campaigns. Louis Vuitton makes items that support you on that trip through life and the world, like a trusty friend and companion you can count on to be there at all the milestones of your journey. Everything they make isn't gold but most of their decisions and products I absolutely adore! The choice to have Marc Jacobs as their creative director was a move to show that while they honor their history, they also look forward to the future and want to expand what their brand stands for and with whom they want to identify. There's literally a product for any and every person available to them from the company. For the Park Avenue dowager, there's the classic Monogram Canvas, Nomade or Vernis. For the Pharrell Williams luxury skateboarder set, there's Murakami. For the Tribeca beauty and her hipster boyfriend, there's Sprouse. No other brand has the ability to reach all demographics the way LVMH can. Is that bad? Depends on who you ask.

Now, it was mentioned in several books about the Asian market that I've read that for many of the new adopters of luxury goods, like Louis Vuitton, the brand's heritage is less important than what it stands for today. They don't care necessarily that Louis Vuitton's core business used to be (and still is) fashionable luggage/bags and accessories for some of the world's most famous and influential people of all time. They care that it's expensive and conveys status onto the person owning it. Many can't pronounce the name 'Louis Vuitton' or names of the products but they know that it's coveted and desired by almost everyone the world over. For many, that's enough.

excellent choice, posh. the floral design is perfect for the season.

Thanks, Dragon. I think so too! It's just one of those things that you see and say, "That's a Louis Vuitton bag but it's covered in roses! How sweet!" It just brightens your day. I'm looking at it now and smiling!

really? Its just me? Posh? Help....

You need all the help you can get. Hold on, my mom's a psychotherapist. I'll go get her!

Posh, Congrats on the new bag, its gorgeous, i had no idea the colours were so vivid.

Thanks, Mrs. H. They really pop both indoors and out. But get it near a blacklight and watch out. It's OUT OF CONTROL!
