The SA chimes in 'Oh well Louis Vuitton isn't that great you know. They don't provide you with a lifetime guarantee like Coach does. Our customer service is much better. You can bring your bag in anytime and get free repairs and free maintenance.
I just smiled and nodded...and we left empty handed. As we left I commented to my hubby....'Louis Vuitton doesn't need to advertise a lifetime guarantee because their canvas bags will keep on ticking for 100 years without any damage!'
I just thought it was funny.....and also a tad bit rude to be knocking another brand. She could sell Coach's merits without dissing another brand.
The Coach leather on my briefcase is much nicer than the trim on any of my LV canvas bags/wallets. I appreciate the lifetime guarantee, too. Even though Coach is made in China and Louis in (insert prestigious country of origin here), Coach stuff just feels more durable, to me. Also, I've seen women taking their purses back to LV to have leather straps that have SNAPPED replaced. Quality, indeed. I know that I'm getting taken for a ride by LVMH, but I can't help myself - Louis is sooo desirable!
Edit: One rant I forgot: LV's zippers are the worst! WHERE are they sourced from? Why don't they use a quality manufacturer like YKK? It's so embarrassing that the zipper on a $1000k bag sticks...especially when one is in the security line at the airport. They're sooo pretty, but cheap cheap cheap!
