the lock...

okay, who started using the lock first on their bags, Hermes or LV??? i wondered yesterday.

 

[H&H]

According to this http://www.answers.com/topic/louis-vuitton?cat=biz-fin in 1880 George invented the lock for their trunks, not sure about the bags...

huh. i wonder if they screamed fake/replica when hermes started using it...i have not ever seen anything about this specifically....the locks seem more functional/stronger than the LV anyway - to me.
