LV: A Symbol of High Fashion


In the world of fashion, nothing symbolize excellence like a designer creation by Louis Vuitton. Owned by few and envied by many, LV bags are a status symbol of wealth and enlargance across the world. Yet few people know that LV rose from humble beginnings to reach the park of modern style.

At age 14, full of bag dream, founder Louis Vuitton traveled 400 km on foot to reach Paris, France. After working as an apprentice for a luggage manufacturer, Vuitton opened his own store in 1854. His first creation was a lightweight, flat-topped trunk. Unlike the round-topped models of that time, they could be stacked and conveniently stored, and they also looked great. The response was tremendous, and Vuitton's business took off. But it was not until 1924 that LV would release its first bag, the Keepall, Which is still; in production today.

Surely, Vitton could never have imagined the fashion trend his brand would start. Today, celebrities like Paris Hilton and Madonna wouldn't be caught dead in public without their LV handbags.

Some owners even affectionately refer to their bags as their "Louis." But buyers should beware. Only 1% of the bags on the market are turely authentic. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, LV has received the highest praise the fashion world can offer.

After I read it, I have some thoughts:
Many famous brand are the symbol of wealth and noble. But the promoter not necessarily very rich. Most of them are poverty, they have a big dream and to achieve by their ownself.
I don't pursue for famous brand. But if I earn lots of money, I think I will reward myself for my hard work.
I also have a dream, I hope one day my dream can comes true.
