Louis Vuitton doesn’t care if you’re rich/ and or famous- if you’re wearing a fake, they’re gonna do their darnedest to get you to stop.

So apparently, Dave Navarro was given some fake LV guitar straps and has been wearing them for like- eight years. Finally, Louis Vuitton tracked him down and sent him a nice little cease and desist letter asking him to quit wearing the straps and adding,

“We have no doubt that this copying has been willful and is intended to trade upon the fame and cachet of the LV Trademarks to elevate the status of the infringing Guitar Strap, and of Jane’s Addiction.”

Ouch! They aren’t kidding around. (Check out Dave’s blog for more on the situation…)

I personally, have never understood celebrities and socialites who wear counterfeit LV or anything else. I mean, they can afford it. Musicians should understand the importance of protecting their work- lyrics, music, etc.

Anyway, Dave… if you’re reading this, Louis Vuitton does special order. Have you seen Keith Richards’ killer custom Louis Vuitton monogram Guitar Case? Although they won’t do everything… they’ll do all kinds of cool pieces that have to do with movement. As in, moving or transporting things from one place to another. I’d love to see a Special Order Louis Vuitton strap. I’ll bet it wouldn’t be that outrageously priced, and it’ll for sure hold up better than the fake ones you’ve got now.

Two. If you want to get rid of some of that authentic Louis Vuitton luggage that you blogged about when venting on this little issue- we, of course, would love to help you out!
