people work very hard and try to make a living from running a company. they have an everyday job such as you people and all u can do is dis them. pleaseeee u guys are sad i am happy louis vuitton is sueing her ass because she used their similar design. she should have thought twice or this wouldnt have occured in the first place. she just wants more attention so she can sell more shirts and make more money and seeing as louis vuitton is so successful she decided to tag them along. louis vuitton gave her a chance and she didnt take it so now she stands to lose everything and frankly i dont care. i wouldnt like people stealing my designs or affiliating them with negative images.

LOUIS VUITTON FOREVER

Shoplifters to me are good people,I would do it any day whether it’s against the law or not,I would do it even if the penalty was life in prison,I hope all the Louis Vuitton stuff is shoplifted,especially by someone like me who can’t afford it,and by the way I hate Macy’s more than any store in the world.

May I add this:

Is luxury label Louis Vuitton taking itself a little too seriously? French journalist Alain Terdy claims that Vuitton parent LVMH forced him to close his Web site http://www.oedipe.net after he posted an article on the famous brown and bronze colored Vuitton bag applying some sociological significance to its “feces and urine colors” and the fact that “it swings close to the buttocks.”
“It is understandable that LVMH doesn’t appreciate this analysis,” Terdy told the Bangkok Post. “But why do they forbid all of my Web site?” Apparently LVMH was able to get the injunction under France’s strict brand protection laws. So are people who spend a fortune buying Vuitton bags obsessed with bodily waste? Or is that just what they have for brains?

2 – http://www.gawker.com/03/03/004895.html :
Louis Vuitton parent company, LVMH, forced French journalist Alain Terdy to shut down his website http://www.oedipe.net after he posted an article on the typical LV brown and gold bag, “applying some sociological significance to its ‘feces and urine colors’ and the fact that ‘it swings close to the buttocks.’” Let me guess: the LVMH fashion fascists didn’t like what he said, so it’s “infringing” on their trademark.

As a handbag whore, I want to be one of many to condemn in it’s entirety the actions taken by LVMH on behalf of Louis Vuitton.

The actions they have taken to try to inhibit someone who is trying to help others is deplorable.

I AM boycotting LV.

Anyone who doesn’t see the wrong that LVMH are responsible for is one of the very people blinded by high society rhetoric. You can be a lover of finer things and still maintain objectivity. As much, the love of a particular label and it’s offerings should never be enough to cause one to place it’s value higher than that of human life.

Just contemptible.
