Louis Vuitton “Monogram Jokes”

I just saw that LV has introduced the Jokes bags online. I usually love LV, I’m a big, big, BIG fan of theirs, but this is something I hated. It is not because of the design nor the vivid colors, but the jokes that are written on them. Most of the women I know (this includes Tina and me) can take care of themselves just fine on their own, better than most men I know can, and yet we don’t feel compelled to make derrogatory comments / jokes about men. I do not consider it art, and no, I do not care about their importance to whomever, I just do not find them funny on any level. Sure, you can argue about the real message these bags were meant to convey, but the fact is - those jokes are completely tasteless.

The fact that these bags are currently sold out is proof that you just have to make something appear exclusive and “must have”, and the “trendy gals” will go nuts about it, no matter what you are selling. I really do not know what state of mind I would have to be in to carry a bag with such jokes on it. No, I am not “oh so self-aware and confident” that I will carry one of these and show off how I’m too strong to be bothered by jokes of that type. If they left out the jokes, I would probably be writing something along the lines of the bags being refreshing, edgy, definitely not something just anyone could pull off, whatever, but with this waste of perfectly good letters plastered all over them - No way. I love some of the extravagant SS08 bags, like Monogram Matisse bag, but this is simply wrong.

Provocative? Yes! Bound to get attention? Yes. Having any value whatsoever as BAGS? No chance..

LV we still love you, but we hope these were just a glitch in the Matrix.
