You are welcome guys! I can't take credit for the pronouciations or any mispronounciations on the list, I just copied and pasted it from that website on my op. I had no idea how to say most of those either!

Instead of MOB, it's an "Lay-mm-ahb" with the "L" at the end

I'm french. Sorry.

Nothing to be sorry for, thanks for the help!
If anyone knows that any are wrong, please chime in.

Thank you thank you! As an LV lover I'm ashamed to say I've been pronouncing Damier wrong all this time.

Thanks for posting this info. I was always curious how to pronounce most of these LVs.

Wow, that's really helpful. Thanks!

What about pronounciations for Cabas Piano and Popincourt Haut?

Ka- bahs Piah-no
But don't draw out the "ah in Piano. It's more of an inflected "no" than "ah"

Popincourt is difficult to pronounce if you don't know how to make the french sounds.
Poe-pin-coor
"Pin" sounds like how you pronounce the "i" in the word "Interesting" like and "ieh"
And Court is pronounced "Coor" like Coors Light, without the "s"
And without the harsh "r" sound at the end... Coor, with a soft r.

Haut is the same french sound as Haute as in "Haute Couture"
Almost like you are calling someone a "ho" but bring your tounge to the roof of your mouth in a soft "t" at the end of the word.

Ack.
Hope this is helpful and not more confusing.
