Okay, I'm no fashion wiz and I probably won't ever be able to afford a Louis Vuitton unless it's coming out of a car trunk. However, I do know a few things and one of those things is anyone who pays $185 for the above bag is a slave to something stupider than fashion. I'd rather have some kid scribble on a canvas and throw a strap on it. At least you could tell people it was an original. But these pieces of crap are being mass produced? Did some well respected, thoroughly trained artist sit down with water colors and perfect this design? Because if not, there's no reason anyone should be paying more than $20 for this mass produced turd of a hand bag. I wouldn't carry it if you paid me...well maybe. but I'd tell people my crazy aunt gave it to me.
