V for Vuitton

Most major brands do well in label loving Japan, but Louis Vuitton is arguably the top dog. Seemingly for a large percentage of the female population, a Louis Vuitton bag is not just desirable, but practically compulsory.

Personally I think the brand is decidedly ugly, but judging by these knowledgeable shoppers, it just goes to show how much I know.

Obviously there aren’t people queuing outside the Louis Vuitton shop everyday, but from the number of Vuitton branded bags seen around Tokyo, it wouldn’t be surprising if there were.

    This was subject to a recent article on the BBC, where the commentators suggested that items like Louis Vuitton were so widely available as fakes, that they were quite common (and therefore no longer so desirable).

    Of course, all the cool kids wear pants from Marks & Sparks…
