The decline of my generation.

I doubt they will. They are the last real status symbol designer.

When other companies like Gucci and Prada lowered their price and their quality, Louis Vuitton did the opposite. They completely dropped their low end ($200-300) bags and raised the price on their existing lines to near $1000.00 each.
They wanted to remain a status symbol....Not have every little trendoid who had a few hundred to blow carrying their items.
In a way I respect the company for this move. For them it isn't about trend or about nabbing the easy few hundred per item. It is about keeping their name synonymous with status and high end style. They believe in quality versus quantity in their product and their customers.


Not that I could ever afford them....and not like they are really "me"
Like I said.....my favorite is my kitchy geisha bag. So much more my personality.
