excuses chick, but i seriously cant see anything "inflammatory" or " outrageous" in someone posting against LVbags. To each their own and all opinions have to be free to be voiced, this is not the LVMH forums right ?
You don't think this post was the least bit inflammatory?
"Why would anyone want an LV bag? You look stupid. People who really are rich don't show off their money it's dumb and you end up getting taken advantage of when people see you in that way. I would be so ashamed to carry lv."
Surely there is a more mature way to profess a distaste for a label. Perhaps. . . "I don't understand the appeal of the Louis Vuitton logo. Why are some people so entranced by it?" Can we agree that this is a better approach? I'm all for a debate over the appeal of Vuitton, if it is done in a courteous manner that doesn't involve insults being hurled and judgments being made. I'd almost venture to say that the original poster was a troll, logging on just to stir up opinions amongst us.
As for your "praying to their bags" comment, which I'm not sure who it was directed towards since I don't see anyone putting their lives on the line in this thread.
I can only say that yes, fashion is a powerful thing. And yes, people do get extremely upset when the beauty of their favorite bag or designer or label is called into question. If you are so mature that you can handle someone trashing your most beloved designer, more power to you. However, and maybe this is unfortunate, I don't think most people can say the same.

chick, you
cannot expect a person who spells the word "entitled" as "intitalled" to put together a sentence saying "I don't understand the appeal of the Louis Vuitton logo. Why are some people so entranced by it?"
what's wrong with splurging on something you like? there
are people out there who like LV for the look, quality, & history.. & there are those who like LV because it's the infamous LV -- i don't see anything wrong with buying what you like, people simply have different tastes, some would go for the flashy bags, others would go for a more subtle choice.
& honestly, i don't think an LV would be the best choice for a show-off of wealth -'cept for the latest $22K bags- there are plenty of other brands out there that could deliver the message of "what i'm wearing cost more than i do".. there are the chanels, the valentinos, & the fendis exquisite & very refined handmade bags that come in a limited number of pieces -- that's what one would prolly if they wanted to show off.
