Johnny was Robbed :)

I'm just loving the Olympics this year! Are you watching? I can't get enough of US figure skater, Johhny Weir. He's so much fun to watch on the ice... You can tell he's having fun- and that's just a pleasure to behold!  Was he robbed last night, or what? :(   But he's equally as fun to watch off the ice!  Always drama!

Anyway, I remembered this article that I read a long time ago about what a Fashionnphile he is! It talks about the Louis Vuitton bag he's carrying- with his Gucci change purse, Louis Vuitton camera case and Balenciaga wallet inside. It's a fun read!

Love the Louis Vuitton black monogram denim shawl he's wearing in the picture above- and we've got a pre-owned authentic Louis Vuitton monogram shawl that looks very similar on our website right now for about $50 less than retail.  Take a look!

LVMH’s Bernard Arnault on the Chinese Boycott of Louis Vuitton

Apparently, Bernard Arnault isn't worried about the recent boycott of LVMH that's spread across cyber space through Chinese blogs, chat rooms and discussion forums. The Cyber Boycott includes not only Louis Vuitton handbags and accessories, but all 60 companies owned and operated by LVMH including Christian Dior, Tag Heuer, Fendi, Marc Jacobs, etc. So far, over 20 million people have signed online petitions to join the boycott.

China is Louis Vuitton's third largest market (behind Japan and the USA)... but Arnault said in Le Figaro, "The consequences for our company are very limited". (Read more here: Forbes)

Paris Olympic Torch Takedown

The boycott stems from not only the little debacle as the Olympic torch worked its way through Paris, April 8 but general Western support of Tibet. Protesters for Human Rights and Tibetan freedom actually managed to extinguish the flame a few times in the scuffle.

Arnault actually said in response to the torch incident, "If we want to have dialogues with China, the Olympic torch should not have been a target of attacks when it passed Western cities... boycotting the Olympics is not a solution."
